Summary: | We report the surgical approach used in 4 male myelomeningocele patients suffering from severe urinary incontinence owing to poor bladder compliance and sphincter incompetence. While bladder compliance was corrected by enlargement cystoplasty the sphincteric incompetence was treated by an autologous fascial sling around the bladder neck with excellent results. We consider this operation as an alternative to the artificial urinary sphincter in cases of male neurogenic sphincter incontinence. |
