Inherited disorders of primary hemostasis, such as von Willebrand disease and congenital platelet disorders, can cause extensive, typically mucocutaneous bleeding. Assays to diagnose and monitor these disorders, such as von Willebrand factor activity assays and light transmission aggregometry, are performed in specialized hemostasis laboratories but are commonly not available in local hospitals. Due to the complexity and relative scarcity of these conventional assays, point-of-care tests (POCT) might be an attractive alternative in patients with hereditary bleeding disorders. POCTs, such as thromboelastography, are increasingly used to assess hemostasis in patients with acquired hemostatic defects, aiding clinical decision-making in critical situations, such as during surgery or childbirth. In comparison, the use of these assays in patients with hereditary hemostasis defects remains relatively unexplored. This review aims to give an overview of point-of-care hemostasis tests in patients with hereditary disorders of primary hemostasis. A summary of the literature reporting on the performance of currently available and experimental POCTs in these disorders is given, and the potential utility of the assays in various use scenarios is discussed. Altogether, the studies included in this review reveal that several POCTs are capable of identifying and monitoring severe defects in the primary hemostasis, while a POCT that can reliably detect milder defects of primary hemostasis is currently lacking. A better understanding of the strengths and limitations of POCTs in assessing hereditary defects of primary hemostasis is needed, after which these tests may become available for clinical practice, potentially targeting a large group of patients with milder defects of primary hemostasis.

“…Nonetheless, this device is plagued by high complication rates such as the need to add more fluid in the port to increase the occlusive static pressure of the cuff, urethral erosion, device infection and device malfunction with fluid loss caused by needle perforations in the valve. Recent publication found that Silimed device is not safe with high risk of urethral erosion especially in PPI cohort and that detailed counselling is mandatory when considering the implant in adult patients (73). …”

Male stress urinary incontinence (SUI) remains a debilitating condition that adversely impacts all domains of quality of life and is associated with significant social stigma and health economic burden. The incidence of post-prostatectomy urinary incontinence (PPI) depends on the definition of urinary incontinence and the length of patient follow up. In patients with persistent PPI following failure of conservative measures, surgical treatment is recommended although there is no published guideline on when surgery should be performed, and what the best surgical option is. Male slings (MS) can be divided into adjustable or non-adjustable types, and offers an attractive option for patients who wish to avoid mechanical handling during urinary voiding. Published intermediate data supports good safety and efficacy rate in men with mild to moderate degree of SUI. The AMS 800 artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) remains the standard of treatment for complete continence and has the longest efficacy and safety records. Other AUS-like devices are designed to address current AMS 800 limitations but themselves are fraught with their own issues.

“…For hydraulically controlled AUS, the most classic device is the AMS 800. Due to its frequent complications in clinical use, such as urethral atrophy and mechanical failure, several such devices have followed, such as the Zephyr ZSI 375, 23,24 FlowSecure, 25,26 Adjustable continence therapy, 27,28 BR-SL-AS-904, 29 Periurethral constrictor, 30,31 and VICTO/VICTO+. 32,33 For electromechanically controllable AUS, the devices in the research phase are currently Tape mechanical occlusive device, 34 German artificial sphincter system, 35,36 and Closed Loop Control AUS.…”

Magnetically controlled artificial urinary sphincter: An overview from existing devices to future developments

Background Urinary incontinence is a common clinical problem in the world today. Artificial urinary sphincter is a good treatment approach for severe urinary incontinence, which is designed to mimic the action of the human urinary sphincter and assist patients to regain urinary function. Methods There are many control methods based on artificial urinary sphincter, such as hydraulic control, electromechanical control, magnetic control, and shape memory alloy control. In this paper, the literature was first searched and documented based on PRISMA search strategy for selected specific subject terms. Then, a comparison of artificial urethral sphincters based on different control methods was conducted, and the research progress of magnetically controlled artificial urethral sphincters was reviewed, and their advantages and disadvantages were summarized. Finally, the design factors for the clinical application of magnetically controlled artificial urinary sphincter are discussed. Results As magnetic control allows for non‐contact force transfer and does not generate heat, it is proposed that magnetic control may be one of the more promising control methods. The design of future magnetically controlled artificial urinary sphincters will need a variety of considerations, including the structural design of the device, manufacturing materials, manufacturing costs, and convenience. In addition, validation of the safety and effectiveness of the device and device management are equally important. Conclusions The design of an ideal magnetically controlled artificial urinary sphincter is of great importance to enhance patient treatment outcomes. However, there are still great challenges to be faced for the clinical application of such devices.
