Intentionally Retained Pressure‐Regulating Balloon in Artificial Urinary Sphincter Revision

Follow‐up of our series provides evidence that retention of the original PRB at the time of non‐infected AUS revision is safe. Potential advantages include elimination of a counter incision and technically challenging exploration. By eliminating these aspects, the potentially resultant decreased operative time may help counter the theoretical yet unproven risk of infection from leaving the old PRB in place.
