Surgical results with artificial urinary sphincter

Urology, 1982
From June, 1974, until January, 1977, eleven AMS 721 genitourinary sphincters were installed in 9 men and 2 females. Long term success was achieved in 2 men. Failures were encountered in 9 patients (82 per cent) with urethral erosions (3 patients), infection (1 patient), and mechanical failure (5 patients) accounting for the complications necessitating

Use of the Artificial Urinary Sphincter in Women

International Urogynecology Journal and Pelvic Floor Dysfunction, 2000
Persistent urinary incontinence after failed surgical repair can be successfully treated with the artificial urinary sphincter. The English literature was reviewed from 1985 to 1996. Eleven articles and abstracts addressing placement of the artificial urinary sphincter in women were identified. Discussion includes two operative techniques.

Novel Electromechanic Artificial Urinary Sphincter

IEEE/ASME Transactions on Mechatronics, 2016
Implantation of an artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) is the treatment of choice for managing severe stress urinary incontinence. This hydromechanical implant mimics a healthy sphincter by exerting a constant circumferential pressure around the urethra to close it and keep urine in the bladder.

Further Experience with the Artificial Urinary Sphincter

Journal of Urology, 1983
Since December 1977, 78 patients with severe urinary incontinence have been treated by insertion of an artificial sphincter at our medical center. In 53 patients the device was inserted and activated at the same time. Of these 53 patients 21 (40 per cent) are perfectly dry, 8 (15 per cent) are improved but are occasionally wet and 24 (45 per cent) have

The contemporary role of the artificial urinary sphincter

Current Opinion in Urology, 2000
The artificial urinary sphincter has been in use for more than 25 years as a treatment for urinary incontinence due to intrinsic sphincter deficiency. Recent clinical studies have increased our knowledge concerning its use in children and in adult patient populations.

The radiological appearance of artificial urinary sphincters

Clinical Radiology, 1985
The increasing refinement of artificial anti-incontinence devices has provided new hope for incontinent patients. The aim of this paper is to show the design and function, and to indicate the use of radiology in evaluation of function, of the latest prostheses.

Artificial Urinary Sphincter Implantation

2007
Artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) implantation is most often performed to treat urinary incontinence following radical or subtotal prostatectomy. In these cases, the cuff of the AUS is placed around the bulbous urethra. This device can also be implanted to treat urinary incontinence associated with myelodysplasia in men, women, or children or to treat

Continent Urinary Diversion Using an Artificial Urinary Sphincter

British Journal of Urology, 1992
Summary— We report a new and simplified method of continent urinary diversion employing a modified AMS 800 artificial urinary sphincter (AUS). Our aim in using this artificial valve is to make a stoma continent, while allowing intermittent catheterisation. The AMS 800 pump is replaced by a subcutaneous injection port.

Artificial Sphincters to Manage Urinary Incontinence: A Review

Artificial Organs, 2018
AbstractUrinary incontinence affects more than 300 million people worldwide. The implantation of a medical device called an artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) is the gold standard treatment when conservative and minimally invasive therapies fail. In this article, the AUSs (extra‐urethral and endo‐urethral sphincters) available on the market, both ...

Urinary Tract Deterioration Associated with the Artificial Urinary Sphincter

Journal of Urology, 1986
In most recent series of artificial sphincter implantations there has been a reduction in mechanical and surgical complications, with continence rates approaching 90 per cent. Despite initially excellent results in 47 children, with increasing durations of followup we noted a transient hydronephrosis related to incomplete bladder emptying in 5 and a ...
