Objectives To evaluate the outcome of implantation of the AMS 800 artificial urinary sphincter in children with neurogenic bladder. Patients and methods The records of 107 children (74 boys and 33 girls) treated for neurogenic urinary incontinence by implantation of the AMS 800 artificial sphincter between 1983 and 1993 were reviewed retrospectively. The underlying cause of incontinence in 92 patients was spina bifida, the mean age at implantation was 13.7 years and 30 patients had undergone previous bladder neck surgery. Implantation was carried out in combination with another surgical procedure in 24.3% of patients. The mean follow-up was 61 months (minimum 12). Results The mean operational life of the sphincter was 56 months. No deaths occurred but removal of the artificial sphincter was necessary in 20 patients (19%). Surgical revision was not required in 44 patients (41%) but at least one revision was performed in 63 and more than one in 42. There were 21 mechanical failures, 40 surgical complications and 39 cases involving changes in the dynamics of bladder function. Of the 87 children (81%) in whom the device is still in place, 72 are completely continent (83%), 10 are slightly wet, and five are incontinent. The overall success rate was 77%. Conclusions The results emphasize that for successful implantation of an artificial urinary sphincter in children, the pre-operative bladder capacity must be sufficient and previous surgery should not have been performed on the bladder neck, the site of choice for implantation in children. Sphincterotomy is not always necessary in paediatric patients. Children and parents should be informed of the high complication rate and the need for long-term follow-up. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
