Transcorporal cuff placement provides dorsal reinforcement, thus having extra tissue buttressing all the circumference in cases of a fragile urethra due to previous urethral cuff erosion, urethroplasty, or pelvic radiotherapy.\n\nPatient and Methods: After previous urethral cuff erosion, radiotherapy, and urethral reconstruction, our patient complained of severe stress urinary incontinence. Due to the high risk of urethral complications, we proceed to a transcorporal artificial sphincter placement with urethral reinforcement through a bilateral cavernosal flap.\n\nResults: The surgery was successfully completed, and after 6 weeks, sphincter was activated with satisfactory results. Two years after surgery, his continence status is stable without complications.\n\nConclusion: Urethral complications associated with artificial urinary sphincter surgery remain a challenge for the reconstructive surgeon. Reinforcement of the ventral aspect of the urethra through corpora cavernosal flaps may reduce the likelihood of urethral erosion in high-risk cases.\n\nCite this article as: Hern\u00e1ndez-Hern\u00e1ndez D, Ortega-Gonz\u00e1lez MY, Padilla-Fern\u00e1ndez B, Castro-D\u00edaz DM.
