inflatable artificial sphincter, anal sphincter anatomy, artificial sphincter, rectal, urinary, surgical procedure to insert an inflatable artificial sphincter to treat either urinary sphincteric incontinence, artificial urinary sphincter, inserted, fecal incontinence, artificial rectal sphincter, inserted, a sphincter dysfunction, injury, urinary, rectal sphincters, the muscles that allow body, hold urine, feces, respectively, an artificial sphincter consists of three parts, a cuff that fits around the bladder neck, anal canal, the artificial rectal sphincter, a pressure regulating balloon, a pump that inflates the cuff, to treat urinary incontinence, cuff, around the urethra so that, it is inflated, urethra, close tightly, to treat fecal incontinence, cuff, around the anal canal, pressure-regulating balloon, placed beneath the abdominal muscles, balloon is filled, a liquid, an iodine-based solution, used so that it, visualized, x-ray procedures, control pump mechanism, in the labia, women, scrotum, men, pump placed underneath the skin, the abdominal wall, thigh, use the sphincter, squeeze the pump to divert urine, feces, cuff, balloon, action, allow the sphincter to relax so that the person, urinate, defecate, cuff, reinflate on its own in 3 to 5 minutes, artificial rectal sphincter reinflates in 10 minutes, placement of an artificial urinary sphincter, an artificial anal sphincter is similar, surgery using general, spinal anesthesia, people having an artificial rectal sphincter admitted, hospital, prior to surgery to receive medications that cleanse the bowel, bowel cleansing, a series, enemas, laxatives, followed by oral antibiotics, had an artificial urinary sphincter placed, return form surgery, a foley catheter in place, removed, prior to discharge, artificial sphincter cuff, not be inflated immediately after surgery, the tissues to heal, 6 weeks after surgery, taught how to activate pump to inflate the artificial sphincter, an artificial urinary sphincter, treat stress incontinence in men that, urethral dysfunction after prostate surgery, additionally this procedure performed in men, women, sphincter dysfunction related to spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, most experts advise patients to try medication, bladder retraining therapy, resorting to this treatment, alternatives to this procedure, the pubovaginal sling in women, periurethral injection of collagen in men, women, an artificial rectal sphincter, treat fecal, bowel, incontinence, neurological, muscular dysfunction, the sphincter, once again, advised that all potential candidates try bowel, sphincter retraining, resorting to this procedure, an artificial sphincter, either the urinary, rectal type, must have the physical ability to toilet, manipulate the sphincter, additionally, procedure should not be performed, a progressive urological disease, urinary tract infection, non-symptomatic presence of bacteria, in the urine, person must be treated, antibiotics, must be free of any urinary bacteria, the procedure performed, notify surgeon, have an allergy to iodine, the balloon is sometimes filled, an iodine solution, risks, anesthesia, reactions to medications, problems breathing, surgery, bleeding, infection, additional risks, complications of this surgery include wound infection, urinary tract infection, urethral erosion, mechanical failure, the device requiring its removal, studies have found that men who were treated, stress incontinence, the artificial urinary sphincter had an 82% cure rate, women had a 92% cure rate, time there a gradual atrophy, wasting, the tissue under the cuff, lead to a decrease, in the effectiveness, the device, in studies of use of an artificial sphincter, treating fecal incontinence, 60%, the patients reported success, it is very important, to carry, wear medical identification to notify health care providers, a artificial sphincter, artificial urethral sphincter must be deactivated whenever urinary catheterization is performed, artificial rectal sphincter, deactivated, rectal procedures, enemas, additionally, the pump mechanism, in the labia in women, inside the scrotum, men, modify some activities, bicycle riding, to accommodate this pump, must be very attentive to possible signs of infection, urinary frequency, pain, burning, urination, fever, erosion, pain at cuff site, bleeding, leakage of urine, stools.
