What this trial studies

This observational study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the Victo adjustable artificial sphincter in male patients suffering from urinary incontinence following prostate surgery.

The study will assess changes in urinary incontinence through various tests and questionnaires, allowing for adjustments to the device as needed. Statistical analyses will be performed to determine the significance of the results.
