In the NBD group, apart from sphincter implantation a total of 113 additional operations were necessary due to complex malfunctions of the urinary tract: augmentation ileocystoplasty in 51 patients, ureterocystoneostomy in 23 patients and 43 operations at the bladder neck. One hundred and twenty-six patients (86%) achieved total continence and 5 patients (3%) were significantly improved. In 9 females (6%) incontinence persisted, and 4 patients ultimately underwent urinary diversion into a Kock pouch. With the implanted artificial sphincter 116 patients (81%) are able to empty their bladder spontaneously, without residual urine and without the necessity of intermittent self catheterisation. Under the aforementioned conditions implantation ...Continue Reading
