Method and apparatus for treating incontinence |
摘要 |
An improved method, system and arrangement for treatment of incontinence is disclosed, in which a portion of innervated smooth muscle is surgically implanted so as to control the flow of a bodily substance therethrough. Electrical stimulation, by an implanted stimulator, maintains continuous tone in the sphincter. A remote controller permits the sphincter to be allowed to relax, and hence permit the bodily substance to flow.
