Urinary Artificial Sphincter in Children

Management of Patients Who Had an Artificial Urethral Sphincter by Laparotomy in Childhood

Retrospective monocentric study of the outcomes of patients with neurogenic bladder who had a urinary artificial sphincter before the age of 18 years old. Hypothesis: what was the impact of the urinary artificial sphincter on the global management of the patient?

The management of patients with neurogenic bladder is complex. Several patients have been operated multiple times. Surgical procedures such as Mitrofanoff's, bladder neck surgery, bladder augmentation, and urinary artificial sphincter are common. The investigators wanted to analyze the participants' data, which led to the indication of a urinary artificial sphincter and its outcomes.
