Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.

This study focuses on evaluating the sexual function of women who have undergone a procedure to implant an artificial urinary sphincter. The primary goal is to understand how this medical device affects their sexual quality of life. The study is important as it aims to provide insights into the potential impacts of this treatment, helping to address any concerns or expectations women might have before deciding on this procedure. Participants in this study are women who have already received an artificial urinary sphincter. They will be fully informed about the study during their preoperative consultation and given an information sheet. Consent will be collected either during the consultation or on the day of the procedure, allowing ample time for reflection. To measure the results, participants will complete questionnaires during their follow-up visits, specifically at 6 and 12 months after the operation. The sexual quality of life will be assessed using the PISQ-12 questionnaire, which scores from 0 to 48.
