Female urinary incontinence is a common problem. Among the many treatment options a few patients may be suitable candidates for the artificial urinary sphincter (AUS). The indications for placement of an AUS are much more common in males: however, we review the indications, technique and potential complications of the AUS in the female population. Although few indications exist for the placement of an AUS in women, if proper patient selection is made, with strict adherence to proper surgical technique, it can be a suitable treatment option for those suffering from sphincteric incontinence.
女性尿失禁是一个常见问题。在众多治疗选择中，少数患者可能适合人工尿道括约肌（AUS）治疗。AUS植入的适应症在男性中更为常见；然而，我们在此回顾女性人群中AUS的适应症、技术及潜在并发症。虽然女性中AUS植入的适应症较少，但如果能正确选择患者，并严格遵循正确的手术技术，它对于那些患有括约肌性尿失禁的患者来说可能是一种合适的治疗选择。
