A urinary incontinence treatment apparatus comprises a restriction device (56) implantable in a patient, for engaging the urethra or urine bladder to form a restricted urine passageway in the urethra or urine bladder. The restriction device is operable by an implantable operation device (60) to change the restriction of the urine passageway. A control device (62 and 64) is provided for controlling a source of energy, which may or may not be implanted, from outside the patient s body, to release energy for use in connection with the operation of the restriction device, i.e. to power the operation device.
