['an artificial anal sphincter. Worldwide, there are two established devices on the market: the artificial bowel sphincter® (ABS) from A. M. S. (Minnetonka, MN, USA) and the soft anal band® from A. M. I. (Feldkirch, Austria). How to implant the artificial anal sphincter? Both devices consist of a silicon cuff which can be filled with fluid.', 'The InVance™ system uses a silicon-coated polyester sling positioned under the bulbar urethra via a perineal incision.', 'Through a perineal incision three titanium screws with a polipropylene suture were inserted in each ischiopubic rami, and a silicon/polipropylene mesh (Invance) is affixed to them, compressing the bulbar urethra', 'surgical treatment of female stress urinary incontinence with a trans-obturator sub-urethral tape of Uratape (Porgés). METHODS: Treatment and follow up of their complication were performed at the CHRU of Lille. RESULTS: In both cases, this complication is related to prolonged vaginal exposition of the tape. Vaginal erosion always occurs next to the silicon coated section of the tape', 'A non-elastic, polypropylene tape (UraTape, Mentor-Porgès) with a silicon coated central part was placed under the mid-urethra.', ' Stress incontinence is a rare complication in men, usually following prostatic surgery. It can be treated conservatively with pelvic floor training and alpha-adrenergic receptor agonists and if necessary surgically with submucosal collagen or silicon injections in the sphincter area or implantation of a sphincter prosthesis', 'The Femassist is a medical-grade silicon dome-shaped device, worn over the urethra and held securely via suction and a commercially available adhesive lotion.', 'To examine the performance of a silicon urinary control device for nonsurgical management of women with genuine stress incontinence', 'The "FemAssist" is a dome-shaped medical grade silicon device intended to be worn over the external urethral meatus and held in place by suction and an adhesive gel. Thirty eight women with varying degrees of genuine stress urinary incontinence (GSUI) or mixed incontinence on multichannel urodynamic testing were fitted with one of two sizes of "FemAssist']
