The Rosen incontinence procedure: a new artificial urinary sphincter for the management of urinary incontinence

During the last 3 years 16 patients have undergone insertion of the Rosen urinary incontinence device. The urethra is occluded simply by fluid transfer from a scrotal reservoir to a perineal balloon that is fixed to the inside of the bulbocavernosus muscle. Use of extensive tubing and hydraulics is not required. Experience with this prosthesis in the management of male urinary incontinence will be discussed. Its use in conjunction with the Small-Carrion penile prosthesis in selected patients with impotence will be described briefly.
