Prospective collection of pre-defined parameters of AUS Surgery for Female Stress Urinary Incontinence due to Intrinsic Sphincter Deficiency
This will be a prospective non-controlled cohort study evaluating the outcomes of artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) implantation surgery (Robot-assisted, Laparoscopic, Open or other) in female patients. The data collection will be undertaken from multiple centres in Europe. The participation will be by open invitation from the Urologists from the European Society of Female \& Functional Urology Section of the European Association of Urology (ESFFU) to all its members along with other surgeons undertaking these procedures. The aim is to recruit a total of 150 patients in 2 years whereafter patients will be followed until the end of Registry which is 5 years after inclusion of the first patient. There will be no restriction on the number of patients enrolled as long as they are consecutive. The aim is to have a long-term collection of the dataset from as many centres as possible. An initial assessment for the robustness of the data collection and first clinical evaluation of the data collected will be performed after 1 year by a nominated steering committee. Thereafter, the evaluations will be performed after every year until end of Registry.

Artificial Urinary Sphincter Surgery (Robot-assisted, Laparoscopic, Open, or other) for Female Stress Urinary Incontinence due to intrinsic sphincter deficiency is according to standard practice. Patients scheduled for this type of surgery will be asked to participate in this Registry. At baseline and follow-up, the patients will be required to fill in Questionnaires, i.e. ICIQ -Urinary Incontinence - Short Form (ICIQ-UI-SF), ICIQ Female Sexual Matters associated with Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms ( ICIQ-FLUTSsex), ICIQ Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms Quality of Life (ICIQ-LUTSqol), Patient Global Impression of Improvement-I (PGI-I) which are commonly used in daily practice to assess urinary incontinence, sexual function and quality of life. During the yearly visits, patients will not be required to come for a clinical visit as the questionnaires and a Follow-up form can be completed by post, e-mail or phone call.

Cure rate
Cure rate is defined as urinary continence with no pads used or use of 1 light security pad.The cure rate after 5 years of study follow up will be calculated together with its 95% Confidence Intervals, for the total patient group as well as for each of the AUS implantation surgery procedures (Robot-assisted, Laparoscopic, Open, or other).
Time frame: Up to 5 years post surgery
Time being incontinence-free
Time being incontinence-free which is defined as the interval being continent after surgery to the date of incontinence recurrence
Time frame: Up to 5 years post surgery
ICIQ-Urinary Incontinence-Short Form Questionnaire (ICIQ-UI-SF)
The ICIQ-UI-SF is a questionnaire evaluating 4 question items (Frequency or urinary incontinence, Amount of leakage, Overall impact of urinary incontinence, Self-diagnostic item) . The score can range from 0 to 25. Mean ICIQ-UI-SF scores will be calculated at the indicated time points and numbers /percentages of patients in the different surgery categories. Also change in ICIQ-UI-SF score compared to baseline will be calculated.
Time frame: At each of the evaluation points up to 5 years post surgery
ICIQ-Female Sexual Matters Associated with Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (ICIQ-FLUTSsex)
The ICIQ-FLUTSsex is a questionnaire evaluating 4 question items (Pain/discomfort because of dry vagina, Impact of urinary symptoms, Pain with sexual intercourse, Urine leakage with sexual intercourse). The score can range from 0 to 54. Mean ICIQ-FLUTSsex scores will be calculated at the indicated time points and numbers /percentages of patients in the different surgery categories. Also change in ICIQ-FLUTSsex compared to baseline will be calculated.
Time frame: At each of the evaluation points up to 5 years post surgery

The ICIQ-LUTSqol is a questionnaire evaluating 20 question items on quality of life in urinary incontinent patients with particular reference to social effects. The score can range from 19-76 overall score with greater values indicating increased impact on quality of life. Bother scales are not incorporated in the overall score but indicate impact of individual symptoms for the patient. Mean ICIQ-LUTSqol scores will be calculated at the indicated time points and numbers /percentages of patients in the different surgery categories. Also change in ICIQ-LUTSqol compared to baseline will be calculated.
Time frame: At each of the evaluation points up to 5 years post surgery
24-hour pad tests
The results of the 24-hour pad tests (number of pads, grammes of leakage weight) at each of the evaluation points during follow up. The change of results of the 24-hour pad tests will also be compared with baseline over time.
Time frame: At each of the evaluation points up to 5 years post surgery
