In 2020, only 1435 MISs were performed. In contrast, RP increased from 2014 to 2019 by 33% (20,760\u201327,509; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). From 2012 to 2019, the number of artificial urinary sphincters (AUSs) changed minimally (\u2212\u00a012%; 1291\u20131136; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.02).
