    The Rosen incontinence device had a high 6-month failure rate of 44%. Many patients required additional surgeries for device complications, impacting long-term effectiveness for urinary incontinence.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Medical Devices
    • Surgical Outcomes

    Background:

    • The Rosen incontinence device was implanted in 19 patients between May 1977 and 1979.
    • This study evaluated the long-term outcomes and complications associated with the Rosen device.

    Observation:

    • Follow-up ranged from 9 to 34 months.
    • 26 additional operations were needed due to device issues like balloon leakage, aneurysm, kinks, malfunction, and erosion.
    • Currently, 7 devices remain implanted, with 3 having urethral compression balloon aneurysms.

    Findings:

    • The 6-month failure rate for the initial device implantation was 44%.
    • Over 247 months of device use, patients experienced 89 months of dryness, 118 months requiring pad protection, and 40 months using external devices.

    Implications:

    • The Rosen incontinence device demonstrated significant early failure rates and a high incidence of complications.
    • These findings suggest limitations in the device's durability and reliability for managing urinary incontinence, necessitating further innovation.
