“…Four patients had received surgical replacement of the valve, while 4 patients (16%) had the device removed due to urethral cuff erosion. Similar results were described by Introini et al [16] in a recent retrospective series of 66 men with severe UI. The majority of patients (79%) were dry at follow-up, while 15% and 6% were improved or failed, respectively.…”
