Use of the artificial urinary sphincter to treat incontinence in children has increased over the past decade. The hydraulic fluid used in this device is radiopaque, and the radiologist is directly involved in its evaluation. Despite advances in design and surgical technique, mechanical failures and other complications occur. Our experience with 34 artificial sphincters implanted in 31 children during 1973-1983 is reviewed, giving a method of radiographic evaluation, diagnostic errors to avoid, examples of sphincter malfunction, and common complications.
在过去十年中，使用人工尿道括约肌治疗儿童尿失禁的情况有所增加。该装置中使用的液压流体是不透射线的，放射科医生直接参与其评估。尽管在设计和手术技术方面取得了进展，但仍会出现机械故障和其他并发症。本文回顾了我们在1973年至1983年期间为31名儿童植入34个人工括约肌的经验，介绍了一种放射学评估方法、应避免的诊断错误、括约肌故障实例以及常见并发症。
