The case report presents a clinical observation of urethral erosion that developed after a long-term presence of a urethral catheter in a patient after implantation of an artificial bladder sphincter. The stages of the patients surgical treatment are described. The frequency of such complications in patients with an established artificial bladder sphincter according to literature data is presented.

Introduction of the AMS 800 artificial urinary sphincter has revolutionized the treatment of urinary incontinence due to pure sphincteric incompetence. From April 1989 to October 1997, 52 patients (42 men and 3 women) underwent implantation of the AMS 800 artificial sphincter. Mean patient age was 69.5 years. They were suffering from urinary incontinence caused by sphincteric damage, always of iatrogenic origin. Follow-up was 5 to 110 months (mean 35 months). Full continence was regained in 35 patients. Seven patients with successful implantation died because of other problems. Follow-up was not available for 2 patients. Explantation was performed 8 times (5 periprosthetic infections, 1 urethral necrosis, 2 urethral erosion). The AMS 800 artificial urinaly sphincter is the most efficacious treatment currently available for urinary incontinence due to pure sphincteric incompetence. Implantation is associated with 2 notable complications: surgical and mechanical.

We report the case of a 57-year-old woman who presented with local invasion of the anal canal by mucinous adenocarcinoma, the malignant transformation of a long-term preexisting retrorectal tailgut cyst. This progression is infrequent and justifies preemptive surgical treatment of retrorectal cysts.

Study Design This is a retrospective, non-randomised study. Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate safety and efficacy of artificial urinary sphincter ZSI 375 inserted in male patients with stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Methods Between May 2009 and January 2017, 45 men with SUI underwent ZSI 375 device insertion. Operations were performed in two French centres by one surgeon. Complications and pad used to manage continence were recorded. Results From May 2009 to January 2012, 45 patients with a mean age of 70.42 years underwent placement of the ZSI 375 device in France. The most common cause for incontinence was radical prostatectomy (RP, 33/45 ­patients, 73.33%). The minimal period of incontinence was 6 months. Twenty-seven out of 45 patients (60.00%) had a severe incontinence (at least four pads per day), 13 patients (28.89%) had moderate incontinence (three pads per day) and five patients (11.11%) had two pads per day. With a long follow-up, the ZSI 375 device was considered to be successful in 73.33% patients after 5 years (60 months) and 72% of patients after 7 years (84 months). The infection rate was 2.2 % affecting one in 45 patients. Six out of 45 patients presented a urethral erosion (13.33%). Mechanical failure with a revision occurred in three patients (6.67%). Conclusions The ZSI 375 device is a safe and effective device to treat severe SUI in men.
