title: [Development of an implantable artificial urinary sphincter (author's transl)].
abstract: Fifteen years experience with investigations of the neurologic aspects of lower urinary tract function has produced a therapeutic rationale that includes utilization of prosthetic devices in selected patients. Development of an implantable artificial sphincter evolved as a necessity for restoring urinary continence became apparent. The experimental design of animal models and the technologic methods in device development are herein described.
