Cover Story: Urinary incontinence is a prevalent condition, especially in elderly men, with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) being a common cause following radical prostatectomy. The artificial urinary sphincter (AUS), particularly the AMS 800™ device, has been the gold-standard treatment for moderate–severe male SUI for decades. Despite some technical advancements and alternative devices like ZSI-375, Victo, and BR-SL-AS 904 being introduced, there is limited literature comparing their effectiveness to the AMS 800™. We reviewed the current literature on urinary sphincter implants in male stress incontinence, including AMS 800™, ZSI-375, Victo, and BR-SL-AS 904. AMS 800™ remains the gold-standard treatment for SUI after radical prostatectomy. Alternative devices show promising results, but longer studies and more data are needed to establish their effectiveness and safety compared with the AMS 800™. View this paper
