Abstract:
: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. Particularly, more long-term data and data on the combination of the artificial urinary sphincter with reconstructive techniques that utilize the bowel have become available. Some interesting new ideas regarding changes in the design of the artificial urinary sphincter have been advanced.
