ABSTRACT

While urinary incontinence is often associated with neurogenic bladders of varying types, AUS implantation is not usually indicated since it will not provide relief for incontinence associated with detrusor hyperreflexia. In cases of congenital (myelodysplasia) or acquired caudal equina syndromes, the bladder and sphincter are often both denervated, and AUS implantation may play a role in managing selected cases of this nature.
