Abstract
During an 11 mo. period, artificial sphincters were implanted in 2 female and 19 male patients for the treatment of urinary incontinence. Etiologies for incontinence varied, including post-prostatectomy incontinence, myelodysplasia and female incontinence after unsuccessful bladder neck suspension. Overall, 38% of the patients were excellent or improved postoperatively, while 24% experienced continuing unabated urinary incontinence and 24% experienced urethral erosion at the site of cuff placement. The device was removed in 14% of the patients when it became infected.
