Abstract
- Urinary incontinence is one of the most distressing problems in urologic practice. However, recent advances in implantable devices have significantly improved the outlook for patients with incontinence due to sphincter weakness. Herein we report a case of urinary incontinence treated by artificial sphincter (model AMS 800) implantation. A 25-year-old man presented with continuous and total incontinence, which developed after pelvic bone fracture and urethral injury. cystometry was normal, uroflowmetry and urethrography showed no significant bladder outlet obstruction, and urethral closing pressure was significantly decreased. After artificial sphincter implantation to the bladder neck. the patient showed good results both clinically and urodynamically.
