Management of Artificial Urinary Sphincter Dysfunction
European Urology, 2004The long-term outcome of artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) is unpredictable because of, among others, the risk of breakdown of one of its components. Our objective was to define a strategy for an accurate diagnosis and an appropriate management of these problems.From 1985 to 2000, 298 AUS (AMS 800) have been implanted in 288 patients aged 53 +/- 21 ...

In paediatric practice, however, it should not be proposed gratuitously for patients with sphincteric deficits. Obtaining continence is simple if the indications and the technique of implantation are given their due ...
