Magnetically Controlled Endourethral Artificial Urinary Sphincter

Annals of Biomedical Engineering, 2016
Urinary incontinence is a largely spread disfunction that affects more than 300 million people worldwide. At present, no technological solutions are able to restore continence in a minimally invasive and effective way. In this article the authors report the design, fabrication, and testing of a novel artificial endourethral urinary sphincter able to ...

The Artificial Urinary Sphincter

2014
Since the first implantation of the artificial urinary sphincter in 1973, thousands of men, women, and children have regained urinary continence, thanks to Dr. Brantley Scott. With long-term data now available, the AUS has become widely used with satisfactory outcomes. Multiple large series have confirmed the AUS to be a durable treatment for sphincter

Management of Artificial Urinary Sphincter Dysfunction

European Urology, 2004
The 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 ...

Gastric muscularis as a urinary sphincter

Urology, 1994
To test the ability of gastric muscularis to act as a urinary sphincter in a rat model system.Fourteen Long-Evans rats had an ileal conduit constructed joining the bladder to the ventral skin, creating urinary incontinence. A segment of gastric muscle maintained on its vascular pedicle was encircled around the conduit. The first 7 animals (group A) had

Management of the spastic urinary sphincter

Urology, 1993
Alpha blockade is a well-established form of therapy for bladder outlet obstruction. We introduce a new drug to the regimen that appears to facilitate relaxation of both the bladder outlet and external sphincter mechanism in patients with a spastic urinary sphincter.

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

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

The Artificial Urinary Sphincter

2003
The ultimate goal when treating urinary incontinence is to achieve normal voiding patterns while allowing dry intervals between voiding. In the case of urinary incontinence due to intrinsic sphincter dysfunction (ISD) there are currently three options to offer: behavioral techniques, pharmacotherapy, and surgical intervention.

THE ARTIFICIAL SPHINCTER FOR URINARY CONTINENCE*

Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 1983
SUMMARYArtificial urinary sphincters were implanted in 30 incontinent children between four and 17 years of age. At follow‐up for periods from three months to four years, 28 children are continent for at least three hours during the day and are dry at night. Two have had the device removed because of erosion and are still incontinent. 18 children empty
