AUS video

Posted by peterj116 @peterj116, 3 days ago

After seeing a number of *animations* of an artificial urinary sphincter in use, I've finally found an actual video of an actual patient using it.
(6:30 mark)

Crazy that it's so hard to find an actual video.
Oh no. A scrotum. I'm so offended. (faints)

Anyway.... activation day tomorrow. Can't wait.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Prostate Cancer Support Group.

I hope the activation went well and the AUS is working smoothly. Thanks for the link. There are youtubes of the installation of the AUS (one by Dr. Terlicky at Wake Forest) that shows all the anatomy but it doesn't have the detail of your link for operation.

Thanks.
The activation went ok, but my bladder thinks I still have pads & needs to relearn how to hold on.

Also, that video doesn't reveal the sound when the pump is pushed - a weird, disconcerting squelching sound as the saline solution is pushed around.
I want to hack to device to play a sound effect instead, but haven't thought of a sound effect funny enough yet.
