Beware of the Dog: Traumatic Extrusion of an Artificial Urinary Sphincter Following Blunt Trauma to the Scrotum by a Domestic Animal
نویسندگان
چکیده
Artificial urinary sphincters are commonly used in males with intrinsic sphincter deficiency to improve continence and quality of life. Complications include erosion, mechanical failure and infection. Frequently, a staged approach involving removal of the device, followed by a period of healing and subsequent reinsertion of a new sphincter is required to restore continence. We describe the first case ever reported of traumatic sphincter extrusion following blunt scrotal trauma by a dog and review its clinical features and management.
