Evaluation of AMS 800 artificial sphincter for continent urinary diversion using intestinal loops.
The AS 800 artificial urinary sphincter was implanted around the isolated intestinal bowel loops in 22 New Zealand rabbits. Pressure flow studies, microangiography, and histopathology were evaluated. The results demonstrated the potential application of the AS 800 in creating continent urinary diversion.
