Rectus fascial sling for the treatment of neurogenic sphincteric incontinence in boys: is it safe and effective?
The rectus fascial sling is effective for increasing bladder outlet resistance and decreasing the degree of incontinence in prepubertal and postpubertal males with neurogenic sphincteric incontinence. It has no long-term deleterious effects on bladder function and does not impair the ability to catheterize postoperatively. A fascial sling is an effective alternative to bladder neck closure when creating a continent stoma.
