A small selected group of patients with urinary incontinence can be treated effectively with an artificial urinary sphincter. Since the fluid in the hydraulic system of this device is radiopaque, radiography is useful in its evaluation. An immediate postoperative radiogram should be performed to control the position and integrity of the system. It also serves as a useful baseline study in case of later complications. It should include radiograms both in the deactivated and activated state. A few cases of tube kinking may be overlooked when exposures in only one projection are used. Experience with 110 implanted sphincters is presented.
一小部分精选的尿失禁患者可以通过人工尿道括约肌得到有效治疗。由于该装置液压系统中的液体是不透射线的，X线摄影在其评估中很有用。术后应立即进行X线检查，以控制系统的位置和完整性。在出现后期并发症时，它也是一项有用的基线研究。检查应包括装置停用和启用状态下的X线片。仅采用一个投照位进行曝光时，可能会漏诊一些导管扭结的病例。本文介绍了110例植入括约肌的经验。
