Artificial Urethral Sphincters
2006Since the introduction of the first artificial urethral sphincter (AUS) in 1973, approximately 50,000 AUS devices have been implanted. The development of new biomaterials, surgical techniques, and new prosthetic sphincter design has correspondingly evolved over this period such that the previously seen problems of tissue inflammation, erosion ...

Reflexes of the External Urethral Sphincter in Children [PDF]
Archives of Neurology, 1984 The electromyographic responses in the external urethral sphincter to electrical stimulation of the pudendal nerve and stretch of the external sphincter were analyzed in a pediatric population; the population included a group with recurrent urinary tract infections and a group with complete or almost complete upper spinal cord lesions.

Urethral Sphincter Mechanism Incompetence in Dogs: An Update.
The Journal of the American Animal Hospital Association, 2018Urethral sphincter mechanism incompetence (USMI) is the most common cause of acquired urinary incontinence in dogs. The pathogenesis of USMI is multifactorial and complex.

The development of the external urethral sphincter in humans
BJU International, 2001Objective To assess the hypothesis that during fetal development, the external urethral sphincter changes from a concentric sphincter of undifferentiated muscle fibres to a transient ring of striated muscle which regresses caudo‐cranially in the posterior urethra during the first year of life, when the sphincter assumes its omega‐shaped configuration ...

Electromyography of the female urethral sphincter
International Urogynecology Journal, 1991Electromyography of the urethral striated sphincter gives information on the function of this muscle which consists of two structures: the intraurethral and periurethral sphincter. The types of electrode used to perform EMG of this sphincter are reviewed.

Repair of an Incompetent Urethral Sphincter in a Mare
Veterinary Surgery, 2010Objective: To describe successful surgical treatment of urinary incontinence caused by a ruptured and/or transected urethral sphincter in a mare.Study Design: Clinical report.Animal: A 7‐year‐old, Swedish Warmblood mare with urinary incontinence.Methods: The urethral sphincter, which had been damaged during removal of a cystic urolith, was repaired

Urethral Sphincter Abnormalities in Parkinsonism
British Journal of Urology, 1983Summary—Urethral sphincter function was studied in 14 patients with Parkinsonism. All patients had urethral pressure profiles, sphincter electromyography and a voiding study with or without cystourethrography. Abnormalities were found in all patients, but profound abnormalities were present in four patients who had markedly increased sphincter tone and
