Apparatus for controlling flow in a bodily organ

A method for implanting a medical device for controlling a flow of urine in a patient's urethra, the method comprising the steps of:

• cutting a skin of the patient,
• inserting a dissecting tool and dissecting an area of at least one portion of tissue wall of the urethra,
• placing an adjustable constriction device of the medical device in the dissected area in operative engagement with the urethra,
• placing a motorized operation device of the medical device, wherein the motorized operation device comprises a sensor configured to sense a temperature generated by the motorized operation device of the medical device, and wherein the motorized operation device is configured to operate the adjustable constriction device to control the flow of urine in the urethra in the patient's body, and
• placing a control unit of the medical device in the patient's body, wherein the control unit is configured to control the operation device based on information from the sensor to avoid excessive heating from the motorized operation device.
