A Case of Urinary Incontinence Treatment Using AMS 800-Artificial Sphincter / 대한비뇨기과학회지

Urinary incontinence is one of the most distressing problems in urologic practice. However, recent advances in implantable devices have significantly improved the outlook for patients with incontinence due to sphincter weakness. Herein we report a case of urinary incontinence treated by artificial sphincter (model AMS 800) implantation. A 25-year-old man presented with continuous and total incontinence, which developed after pelvic bone fracture and urethral injury. cystometry was normal, uroflowmetry and urethrography showed no significant bladder outlet obstruction, and urethral closing pressure was significantly decreased. After artificial sphincter implantation to the bladder neck. the patient showed good results both clinically and urodynamically.

Experience of Mentor Inflatable Penile Prosthesis for Erectile Impotence / 대한비뇨기과학회지

The Mentor inflatable penile prosthesis was designed to decrease the incidence of mechanical failures associated with the Scott inflatable penile prosthesis. The penile cylinders of the Mentor prosthesis are manufactured from Bioflex polyurethane, which is more resistant to abrasion and relatively in elastic than silicone. the material of the Scott prosthesis. The Mentor prosthesis also has a connector system which employs plastic snap-lock ring clamps rather than suture ties to fix tubings to connector. We experienced a case of Mentor inflatable penile prosthesis for vasculogenic erectile impotence in a42 year old male.
