Treatment of urinary incontinence by the Scott-Bradley-Timm artificial sphincter. A report of eight cases.

Eight patients were treated with an implantable artificial urinary sphincter. Five patients had neurogenic bladders, two had postprostatectomy incontinence and one severe recurring stress incontinence. The main problem was mechanical failure of the device in four patients. The present results (follow up two to ten months) may be classified as satisfactory in six and unsatisfactory in two patients.

Morphology and function of the bladder and urethra in female urinary incontinence.

The conventional investigations, gynaecological examination and cystoscopy give very little information about the causes of incontinence. History taking makes it possible to divide the symptoms into either stress- or urge incontinence. Cystometry, lateral voiding cysto-urethrography and urodynamic examination including sphincter EMG enable us to divide the pathological conditions into suspension defects and bladder dysfunctions. The suspension defects are bladder base insufficiency, vesical descensus and trigonocele. The operation of choice for these conditions depends on whether the suspension defect is anterior or posterior. The bladder dysfunctions are supranuclear and infranuclear neurogenic dysfunctions. The treatment in these cases will ordinarily be medical.

Torsion of the testis diagnosed by ultrasound.

An ultrasonic method to diagnose acute testicular torsion is presented. With the doppler principle the presence of absence of intratesticular arterial pulsation can be demonstrated. In 5 patients with acute testicular torsion and 10 patients with epididymitis a correct ultrasonic diagnosis was made. In long-standing torsions some arterial pulsation may be present.
