A number of safety issues were reported, including high explantation rates, and rates of adverse events owing to infection, device malfunction, ulceration and pain. Results in published reports were not analysed on an intention-to-treat basis. Continence, quality of life and manometry scores were reported for patients with a functioning device at the end of follow-up. These patients experienced a significant improvement in their level of continence. As no outcome data were presented for those with a non-functioning or explanted device, it is possible that such patients may have a worsened degree of incontinence or decreased quality of life.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Implantation of an artificial bowel sphincter is of uncertain benefit and may possibly harm many patients.
