ACT is a minimally invasive treatment for SUI related to sphincter deficiency. This is one of the first reports in a sample of patients with neurological disorders implanted by multiple surgeons. ACT could be a less invasive, appropriate alternative to artificial urinary sphincters. However, it is associated with frequent local complications which are easy to manage but that should be reduced in this challenging population.
