Abstract
The systematic, objective evaluation of incontinence after artificial urinary sphincter placement is critically important in the direct of further therapy. The technique and application of perfusion sphincterometry in the evaluation of 9 men with various causes of incontinence after artificial sphincter implantation are described. The perfusion sphincterometry study, which does not require sophisticated urodymamic equipment, helped to define clearly the cause of the incontinence and, thus, facilitated appropriate therapy.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
