Since 1983, 62 patients with incontinence of urine (43 men and 19 women) were treated with an artificial sphincter model AS 800. During the period of observation, the artificial sphincters were removed in five patients on account of complications and six patients had died. In 22 patients, a total of 34 operations were required on account of complications. Out of 51 patients with artificial sphincters at the time of this review, 43 (84%) had experienced improvement: 15 (29%) were completely continent and 18 (35%) had only slight stress incotinence. It is concluded that the technical improvement which has taken place has improved the therapeutic results and approximately halved the number of complications requiring treatment.
自1983年以来，62例尿失禁患者（43例男性，19例女性）接受了AS 800人工括约肌模型治疗。在观察期间，5例患者因并发症而移除了人工括约肌，6例患者死亡。22例患者因并发症共需要进行34次手术。在本次综述时仍保留人工括约肌的51例患者中，43例（84%）病情有改善：15例（29%）完全控尿，18例（35%）仅存在轻度压力性尿失禁。得出的结论是，技术上的改进提高了治疗效果，并使需要治疗的并发症数量减少了约一半。
