Surgical Implantation of the New FlowSecure™ Artificial Urinary Sphincter in the Female Bladder Neck

Abstract

Despite that the new FlowSecure artificial urinary sphincter has only been used for bulbar urethral implantation, we have successfully implanted the device in a female bladder neck with excellent clinical results. Cuff lengthening and connecting tubes shortening would probably enable all female patients to be suitable for implantation. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time the device has been implanted in a bladder neck.
