Pump-preserving AUS revision feasible when pump is functioning normally
Prospective · Urology · 2026-11-09. Number 1 in the UrologyWatch Top 5 for November 9, 2026.
In a prospective single-center series of 60 artificial urinary sphincter revisions, surgeons preserved a normally functioning pump in all cases, with no pump-related complications and earlier device reactivation (2 weeks vs standard 6 weeks).
Why it matters: Suggests pump preservation may be a feasible option in selected AUS revisions to limit scrotal dissection and shorten reactivation time.
Limitation: Single-center feasibility series without comparator arm or long-term durability data.
