Artificial urinary sphincters in children: radiographic evaluation.

G A Taylor, R L Lebowitz

    Radiology
    |April 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    Artificial urinary sphincters treat pediatric incontinence, but mechanical failures occur. Radiographic evaluation is crucial for diagnosing complications in children with these devices.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Urology
    • Radiology
    • Medical Device Engineering

    Background:

    • Artificial urinary sphincters (AUS) are increasingly used for pediatric urinary incontinence.
    • The radiopaque hydraulic fluid necessitates radiologist involvement in AUS evaluation.
    • Despite design improvements, AUS devices are prone to mechanical failures and complications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the experience with artificial urinary sphincters in children.
    • To outline a method for radiographic evaluation of AUS.
    • To identify common complications and diagnostic errors associated with AUS.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of 34 artificial sphincters implanted in 31 children between 1973 and 1983.
    • Analysis of radiographic evaluations for diagnosing AUS malfunction and complications.

    Main Results:

    • The study details common complications and examples of sphincter malfunction.
    • Diagnostic errors to avoid during radiographic evaluation are presented.
    • Experience with a cohort of pediatric AUS patients is analyzed.

    Conclusions:

    • Radiographic evaluation is essential for managing pediatric artificial urinary sphincters.
    • Understanding common complications and diagnostic pitfalls improves patient care.
    • This review provides insights into the long-term performance and management of AUS in children.
