Description
This will be a prospective non-controlled cohort study evaluating the outcomes of artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) implantation surgery (Robot-assisted, Laparoscopic, Open or other) in female patients. The data collection will be undertaken from multiple centres in Europe. The participation will be by open invitation from the Urologists from the European Society of Female & Functional Urology Section of the European Association of Urology (ESFFU) to all its members along with other surgeons undertaking these procedures.
