Is age of the patient an independent predictor influencing the management of cranio-maxillo-facial trauma?
The current study demonstrated that the patient's age was an independent predictor influencing the treatment decision and realization process as well as the care management modality.
In our experience, the AS-800 model artificial sphincter has a long term survival which rarely exceeds 8 to 9 years putting into question whether it or bladder neck reconstruction is the best long term solution for treating children with neurogenic incontinence. This question may be only answered by a randomized, controlled trial comparing these two modalities.
