PURPOSE: We reviewed the erosion rate of the double cuff artificial urinary sphincter. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Charts of 95 patients were evaluated for erosions and underlying etiology. RESULTS: Ten patients had erosion of the cuffs, for an erosion rate of 10.5%. Of the 10 erosions 4 (40%) were secondary to iatrogenic injuries. CONCLUSIONS: Addition of a second cuff to the artificial urinary sphincter remains a safe alternative for patients with severe urinary stress incontinence.
