Expert Angle: The Artificial Sphincter in the Management of Urinary Incontinence

Dr. Ron Gerridzen presents "The Artificial Sphincter in the Management of Urinary Incontinence Following Prostate Cancer Therapy." Dr. Gerridzen addresses: Prostate cancer is common and often necessitates treatment which might result in detrimental effects on urinary control and sexual function. The AMS 800 artificial urinary sphincter is an ingenious device developed and refined starting in 1973. It is very effective in restoring reasonably good urinary control and thus quality of life for men whose urinary control has been moderately to severely affected by their prostate cancer treatment(s). This presentation will focus on the history of the device, its current format, indications for its use, pros and cons, and results.
