  • The European Association of Urology (EAU) Guidelines consider the Artificial Urinary Sphincter (AUS) the “gold standard” for treating severe male stress urinary incontinence, especially after other treatments have failed. The guidelines confirm the AUS provides excellent, long-lasting continence outcomes and high patient satisfaction rates. The procedure is also associated with very low risks of intraoperative injury to surrounding organs and a low risk of post-surgical complications like urinary retention or new-onset urgency urinary incontinence, making it a reliable and effective solution for patients.

    • High chance of curing stress urinary incontinence
    • Long-lasting effect
    • Very low risk of injury to the urethra, rectum, or bladder during surgery
    • Very low risk of injury to the bowel or blood vessels in the pelvic area
    • Very low risk of temporary urinary retention after surgery
    • Very low risk of urgency urinary incontinence
    • Very low risk of recurrence of stress urinary incontinence
  • Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is another name for impotence. ED is the inability to get or maintain an erection firm enough to have sexual intercourse. This common problem bears the potential to occur at any time in every man from all ethnicities and ages. However, ED is more likely to emerge as men get older and/or develop other health problems. ED may be an early sign or outcome of various and more serious health issues, including heart and circulatory diseases, diabetes, trauma surgery, radiation therapy, drugs, smoking, alcohol abuse, hormonal imbalances, neurologic and psychiatric diseases as well as psychological problems.

  • One may effectively prevent a serious health problem from progressing to a more severe stage by simply self-assessing the severity of their ED and seeking health advice from an expert.
