An improved method, system and arrangement for treatment of urinary incontinence is disclosed, in which a portion of innervated smooth muscle ( 2 ) is transplanted and disposed around the urethra to provide a urethral sphincter ( 2 ). Electrical stimulation, by an implanted stimulator ( 1 ), maintains continuous tone in the sphincter. A remote controller ( 7 ) permits the sphincter ( 2 ) to be allowed to relax, and hence permit urine to flow out of the bladder.
