Treatment of anastomotic strictures and urinary incontinence after radical prostatectomy with urolume wallstent and AMS 800 artificial sphincter.
Anastomotic strictures and urinary incontinence are severe complications after a radical prostatectomy. We report on two patients suffering from both complications. We treated the anastomotic stricture with a Urolume Wallstent and inserted an AMS 800 artificial sphincter prosthesis 4 to 6 months later for treating urinary incontinence. Finally, the patients were fully continent with no evidence of recurrent strictures.
