Bhanvadia RR, Dropkin BM, Wolfe AR, et al. - Findings suggest correlation of severe post prostatectomy incontinence (PPI) with weight gain and correction of PPI via artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) insertion with weight loss.

• Inclusion criteria for the study were met by 187 AUS and 63 inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) patients.

• Twelve months post UPS, a mean BMI reduction of -1.0 kg/m² was recorded among men with AUS vs a mean BMI rise in the IPP cohort of 0.4 kg/m².

• Absolute body weight reduction by 6 kg was recorded for AUS vs IPP patients, with nearly one-third having clinically significant weight loss (> 5% body weight) at 12 months post UPS (31.8% vs 8.3%).
