## Abstract ## Purpose The artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) is one of the most effective surgical treatments for male urinary incontinence regardless of its severity. Current knowledge comes from high‐volume centers, but little is known about the performance of this surgery from community practices. This study aims to report contemporary AUS performance in a nationwide observational study in Colombia. ## Methods Male patients who underwent AUS surgery with AMS 800TM between 2000 and 2020 in more than 17 centers and four cities were identified. Pre, intra, and postoperative characteristics were evaluated, mainly addressing patient reported outcomes measurements in the postoperative period. Retrospective and prospective data collection and descriptive analysis were completed. Kaplan‐Meier analysis was used to determine AUS survival rate. ## Results Out of an initial 667 cases, a total of 215 patients met inclusion and exclusion criteria and were included. Mean age was 67 ± 9.4 years, and mean follow‐up was 6.0 ± 4.4 years with maximum range of 14 years. The etiology of urinary incontinence was prostate cancer surgery in 141 (81%) of the cases.
