The patients had 68 procedures: 36 (52.9%) perineal and 32 (47.1%) penoscrotal approaches. The median (25th-75th percentiles) age at the time of surgery was 61.0 (51.0-68.0) years (n=68 procedures). The median (25th-75th percentiles) operative time was significantly shorter for the penoscrotal approach, 87 (69-140), vs. 93 (72-210) minutes for the perineal approach (\n              <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n              =.016). The 44 patients were followed up for a mean (SD) of 52.5 (20.3) months for the 68 procedures. Postoperative complications occurred in 16 (36.36%) patients; 11 (44%) perineal approach patients and 5 (26.3%) penoscrotal. There were no significant differences in complications of infection, erosion, malfunction, or urethral atrophy between the two groups. Only removal\/revision was significantly more common with the perineal approach (10 patients perineal and two patients penoscrotal,\n              <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n              =.042). At the last follow-up, dryness was comparable among groups.\n            <\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>CONCLUSION:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>The outcomes of AUS placement are comparable between perineal and penoscrotal approaches in terms of complications and one year dryness. The penoscrotal approach however has shorter operative time and less need for revision and removal.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>LIMITATIONS:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Small sample size, single-center.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>CONFLICT OF INTEREST:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>None.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.5144\/0256-4947.2023.57","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,5]],"date-time":"2023-02-05T08:01:52Z","timestamp":1675584112000},"page":"57-61","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["A comparison of the perineal and penoscrotal approaches in artificial urinary sphincter implantation for the control of male stress urinary incontinence"],"prefix":"10.5144","volume":"43","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6273-2819","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Waleed","family":"Altaweel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Department of Urology, King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Razan","family":"Almesned","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Department of Urology, King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Raouf","family":"Seyam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Department of Urology, King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"3134","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_1_2_2","article-title":"Greater emotional and social effect of urinary incontinence in men than women","volume":"56","author":"Lagro-Janssen TALM","year":"2008","unstructured":"Lagro-Janssen TALM, Hilkens CJM, Klaasen RI, Teunissen D.
