Evaluating the impact of artificial intelligence-based assessment of body composition on primary artificial urinary sphincter placement outcomes.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Sarcopenia, characterized by low muscle mass, and aberrant adiposity changes, including visceral fat accumulation, has been associated with impaired physiologic stress response and wound healing. Artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) placement is the preferred surgical treatment for men with severe post-prostatectomy incontinence. Given the higher rates of maladaptive body composition changes in this older, high comorbidity population, this study explores their impact on AUS outcomes.

Methods

A retrospective analysis was performed including men who underwent primary AUS placement at the Mayo Clinic from 1999 to 2023 for post-prostatectomy incontinence and had cross sectional imaging available within 12 months prior to AUS implant. Sarcopenia and body composition were
