Sling, or artificial urinary sphincter?

I have my consultation in three weeks for a sling. I have exactly the right symptoms and am hopeful for a positive discussion with this new urologist (new to me, but very experienced at implanting slings). Wondering what questions I should have at the ready?

The only real questions or reassurances I needed were that it couldn’t make it worse, and the degree of potency I had gained back following my RP would not be compromised. I got those reassurances and so signed the consent to go ahead.
Recovery: some swelling and edema in the scrotum, tender for about a week when sitting. Get an inflatable donut pillow to sit on as it alleviates the pressure.
