Purpose: We determined whether the self-expanding sphincter stent, a potential alternative to conventional external sphincterotomy for the treatment of detrusor external sphincter dyssynergia, causes a permanent effect on the lower urinary tract.Materials and Methods: Four spinal cord injured men with voiding symptoms of detrusor external sphincter dyssynergia as noted by complete urological evaluation, including a video urodynamic study, were treated with the self-expanding sphincter stent. However, the device was explanted 6 months or longer after insertion in all 4 cases due to stent migration (3) and difficulty with condom catheter urinary drainage (1).Results: All stents were removed completely without damage to the urethra. Mean voiding pressure decreased from 62.5 plus/minus 39.4 to 20.7 plus/minus 6.5 cm. water after sphincter stent placement. One year after stent explanation mean voiding pressure remained unchanged from preoperative values of 58.5 plus/minus 21.5 cm. water. No patient had... |
