Claim:
1. An implantable occlusive device, comprising: an occlusive cuff; a control mechanism; and a pressure compensator having a hollow flexible shell and being configured for placement in one of a subcutaneous location or a pre-vesical location, wherein the subcutaneous location includes abdominal subcutaneous tissue between a pubic bone and abdominal skin and the pre-vesical location is disposed between a bladder and the pubic bone, wherein the control mechanism is in fluid communication with the occlusive cuff, through attachment via a flexible tube, the control mechanism is in fluid communication with an inner portion of the pressure compensator, through attachment via a flexible conduit, and the control mechanism is mechanically connected to a diaphragm inside the pressure compensator, and the control mechanism includes an activation button and a deactivation button, the activation button upon depression, hydraulically inflates with hydraulic fluid the occlusive cuff to apply a preset occlusive pressure on a tubular body, the deactivation button upon depression, hydraulically evacuates the hydraulic fluid from the occlusive cuff to remove the preset occlusive pressure on the tubular body, wherein when the pressure compensator is placed in the subcutaneous location, a force applied through the abdominal skin compresses the pressure compensator, thereby increasing a pressure in the pressure compensator and the occlusive cuff, and when the pressure compensator is placed in the pre-vesical location, a force applied by an increase in bladder pressure compresses the pressure compensator, thereby increasing a pressure in the pressure compensator and the occlusive cuff.
