We describe a very rare complication of migration of Artificial Urinary Sphincter pump device, following an elective implantation in a male patient with significant stress incontinence secondary to cauda equina syndrome.
Looking through existing literature there has not been a similar complication reported. Usual complications reported include erosion, infection and mechanical failure.
