Renal transplantation in a patient with an artificial urinary sphincter device.
Use of the artificial urinary sphincter device has become widespread. We describe the successful transplantation of a renal allograft into a recipient with an artificial urinary sphincter. Pretransplant placement of a sphincter, intraoperative avoidance of the prosthetic device and proper urinary drainage perioperatively make the artificial urinary sphincter device a feasible means to provide continence in a renal transplant recipient.
