| Popis: | Eight patients were treated with an implantable artificial urinary sphincter. Five patients had neurogenic bladders, two had postprostatectomy incontinence and one severe recurring stress incontinence. The main problem was mechanical failure of the device in four patients. The present results (follow up two to ten months) may be classified as satisfactory in six and unsatisfactory in two patients. |
