Decisional Regret and Long-term Quality of Life After Artificial Urinary Sphincter Implantation Following Radical Prostatectomy
We asked men who received an artificial urinary sphincter to treat urinary leakage after prostate surgery to complete questionnaires on their quality of life. Most men reported lasting improvements. Repeat sphincter surgery was linked to more regret, which shows the importance of long-term follow-up and counselling.
