Devastating course—good outcome! Excellent results thanks to artificial urinary sphincter implantation despite perineal urethrostomy—a case report
Niklas Matthias Bohne, Roberto Olianas, Arne Strauß, Mirjam Naomi Mohr, Lutz Trojan, Mathias Reichert

TL;DR
A patient with severe urinary incontinence after prostate surgery achieved good results with an artificial urinary sphincter, even after a perineal urethrostomy.
Contribution
First report of AMS-800© sphincter implantation in a patient with a perineal urethrostomy.
Findings
AMS-800© sphincter implantation was successful in a patient with complex incontinence history.
The presence of a perineal urethrostomy does not preclude successful sphincter implantation.
Postoperative quality of life improved significantly following the procedure.
Abstract
Dieser Fall beschreibt zum ersten Mal die Implantation eines AMS-800©-Sphinkters (Boston Scientific Corporation, Marlborough, MA, USA) bei einem Patienten mit Belastungsinkontinenz nach radikaler Prostatektomie, der durch komplizierten Verlauf der vorherigen Inkontinenztherapie letztlich mit einer perinealen Urethrostomie versorgt wurde. Die Kontinenzsituation und die postoperative Lebensqualität nach Versorgung mit dem neu implantierten Sphinktersystem zeigen, dass eine Boutonnière keine Kontraindikation für die Versorgung mittels künstlichem Blasenschließmuskel darstellt.
