[The treatment of urinary incontinence in children using the AMS sphincter prosthesis].
In the Netherlands implantation of the AMS-sphincter prosthesis in childhood is still a rare mode of treatment. Since 1984 we have implanted only 12 artificial sphincters in children, aged 9-15 years. Finally in all children a good continence was achieved and only in one boy several technical problems were seen, which could be remedied successful.
