The Rosen prosthesis: a bad experience.
Between September 1977 and September 1980 we implanted 4 Rosen inflatable incontinence prostheses in 4 men with urinary incontinence. Twelve operations were necessary on these 4 patients to assure them to be continent during a total of 43 months. Because of the great number of complications we no longer use the Rosen prosthesis.
