Pitfalls of the Rosen anti-incontinence prosthesis.
There were 17 male patients with urinary incontinence who underwent insertion of the Rosen anti-incontinence prosthesis. Of the 17 patients 9 (53 per cent) have a functioning prosthesis, 4 (23.5 per cent) have a non-functioning prosthesis and are awaiting replacement and 4 (23.5 per cent) have had the prosthesis removed. The longevity of the prosthesis is unknown, with our longest functioning prosthesis at 26 months.
