Summary

This registry follows 180 women receiving an artificial urinary sphincter for stress incontinence caused by a weak sphincter. Researchers measure how many become dry (using no pads or just one light pad) and how long that dryness lasts over 5 years. Participants also report on sexual function and quality of life through questionnaires.
