Artificial Urinary Sphincter Surgery (Robot-assisted, Laparoscopic, Open, or other) for Female Stress Urinary Incontinence due to intrinsic sphincter deficiency is according to standard practice. Patients scheduled for this type of surgery will be asked to participate in this Registry. At baseline and follow-up, the patients will be required to fill in Questionnaires, i.e. ICIQ -Urinary Incontinence - Short Form (ICIQ-UI-SF), ICIQ Female Sexual Matters associated with Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms ( ICIQ-FLUTSsex), ICIQ Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms Quality of Life (ICIQ-LUTSqol), Patient Global Impression of Improvement-I (PGI-I) which are commonly used in daily practice to assess urinary incontinence, sexual function and quality of life. During the yearly visits, patients will not be required to come for a clinical visit as the questionnaires and a Follow-up form can be completed by post, e-mail or phone call.
