Abstract
Urinary incontinence in children is a distressing problem that often is magnified during puberty, since the children then realize the full significance of the disorder. Although there are numerous methods of treatment described none offers the reliable combination of a normal body image and total urinary continence. We describe our experience with the AS792 artificial urinary sphincter in treating children with urinary incontinence of varying etiologies and compare it with other described methods.Keywords
