title: [Artificial urinary sphincter in the treatment of neurogenic bladder in children].
abstract: Over a two years period, the model AS 800 artificial urinary sphincter was implanted in 10 children (mean 14 years old) with incontinence due to a neurogenic bladder (7 spina bifida; 3 sacral agenesis). Goal of continence was achieved in 100% of 7 boys and 3 girls with a follow up between 6-32 months (mean 17 months). Patients selection was rigid and incontinence have failed to response at pharmaceutic manipulation (6) intermittent catheterisation (5) and previous classical surgery enterocystoplasty (2), Young-Dees procedure (1). Age minimum was 8 years. All sphincters were implanted around the bladder neck. Associated surgical techniques were performed in 4 cases: 2 detubularized enterocystoplasties, 1 Teflon injection for vesico ureteral reflux, 1 closure of previous cystostomy. Sphincterotomy was never done. 5 patients are submitted post implantation to intermittent catheterisation without any problem. 2 patients required one revision. Nocturnal desactivation is used in 2 cases. Authors focus on the necessity of correcting previously or at the time of implantation bladder compliance and vesico ureteral reflux.
