[Results of treatment of postoperative urinary incontinence in men by implantation of an AS 800 artificial sphincter. Apropos of 15 cases].
Fifteen men were treated for postoperative urinary incontinence by implantation of an AS 800 artificial sphincter between May 1984 and May 1986. Follow up for at least 6 months and in some cases for more than 2 years has shown perfect day and night continence in 11 of the 15 patients and almost perfect continence in the remaining 4 who consider nevertheless that their quality of life has been transformed. These findings plead in favor of the implantation of this type of material.
