Evaluation and management of incontinence after implantation of the artificial urinary sphincter.
Despite the fact that the AS-800 artificial urinary sphincter represents a significant advance in the treatment of urinary incontinence, for many reasons, incontinence persists or recurs in a small percentage of cases. This is often a challenging problem to manage; however, a logical and sequential approach (as outlined in the algorithm in Figure 2) will aid in successful diagnosis and treatment.
