Abstract
- A 31 year old male patient presenting urinary incontinence 2 years after the traumatic injury of the posterior urethra and bladder neck, fails to respond to the alpha-adrenaergic agents and other ordinary methods. However, using the artificial sphincter(Model AMS 800) implantation, he successfully voided freely without urinary incontinence and the residual urine. The urethral closing pressure was significantly increased. The radiographic findings of inflation and deflation of the sphincter revealed satisfactory functions.
