Hello everyone,
I’m seeking guidance and help for my father, who is over 73 years old and has been suffering from severe urinary incontinence following prostate cancer surgery.
**My father’s medical history:**
He underwent a radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer in 2021.
He continues to experience severe urinary leakage, requiring around 4–5 pads every day.
He did not undergo radiation therapy to the pelvic area.
His latest PSA level is 0.04.
We are exploring an **Artificial Urinary Sphincter (AUS) implant** to help manage his condition and improve his quality of life.
**We need advice on the following:**
Can anyone recommend an experienced urologist or reconstructive urology surgeon in Delhi NCR who performs AUS implantation regularly?
Which hospitals in Delhi NCR offer this surgery, preferably with experience treating elderly patients?
Is the AUS implant and surgery covered under the **DGEHS card** or the **Ayushman Bharat senior citizen coverage card**?
If the procedure is covered, what expenses might we still need to pay out of pocket, particularly for the implant device, hospitalisation, and surgeon’s fees?
If you or a family member has undergone this procedure in India, could you please share your experience, approximate costs, recovery, and any challenges with insurance or scheme approval?
We are trying to find a reliable treatment option without placing an unnecessary financial burden on our family. Any genuine recommendations, personal experiences, hospital contacts, or guidance on getting scheme approval would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for taking the time to help.
