Longitudinal deterioration in lower urinary tract symptoms after artificial urinary sphincter implantation in patients with a history of pelvic radiation therapy

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate longitudinal changes in lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) after artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) implantation in patients undergoing radiation therapy (RT) in comparison to those in non-irradiated patients.

METHODS: This retrospective study included 20 and 51 patients with and without a history of pelvic RT (RT and non-RT group, respectively) who were treated with primary AUS implantation for post-radical prostatectomy incontinence between 2010 and 2020. Longitudinal changes in the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form (ICIQ-SF), the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), and the Overactive Bladder Symptom Score (OABSS) were calculated with a linear mixed model.

RESULTS: In the RT and non-RT group, 18 (90%) and 48 (94%) patients achieved social continence, defined as daily pad use ≤1 at 1 month after activation of AUS, respectively (p = .555). During the mean follow-up of 38 months, ICIQ-SF, IPSS, and OABSS significantly improved after AUS implantation in both the RT and non-RT groups. In the RT group, ICIQ-SF, IPSS, and OABSS subsequently deteriorated with a slope of 0.62/year (p = .010), 0.55/year (p = .025), and 0.30/year (p = .007), respectively. In the non-RT group, no significant longitudinal changes in subsequent IPSS and OABSS were observed, although ICIQ-SF significantly deteriorated (0.43/year, p = .006). Comparing between the groups, the slopes of IPSS and OABSS were significantly greater in the RT group than in the non-RT group (p < .001, and .015, respectively).

CONCLUSIONS: Longitudinal deterioration in LUTS that improved immediately after AUS implantation was observed in patients with a history of pelvic RT, but not in patients without a history of pelvic RT.
