External sphincterotomy in traumatic and non-traumatic neurogenic bladder dysfunction.

H W Herr, E R Engelman, D C Martin

The Journal of Urology

|January 1, 1975

Summary

External sphincterotomy is a safe and effective procedure for managing neurogenic bladder in 40 patients. This technique helps balance the bladder in patients with detrusor-sphincter dyssynergia, offering an alternative to supravesical diversion.

Area of Science:

Urology
Neurology
Surgical Procedures

Background:

Neurogenic bladder, often resulting from trauma or neurological conditions, can cause detrusor-sphincter dyssynergia.
Detrusor-sphincter dyssynergia leads to bladder imbalance, necessitating effective management strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the experience with external sphincterotomy in patients with neurogenic bladder.
To evaluate the safety and reliability of external sphincterotomy for achieving a balanced neurogenic bladder.

Main Methods:

Retrospective review of 40 patients with traumatic and non-traumatic neurogenic bladder.
Analysis of outcomes following external sphincterotomy.

Main Results:

External sphincterotomy was found to be a safe and reliable technique.

The procedure successfully established a balanced neurogenic bladder in patients with detrusor-sphincter dyssynergia.

Conclusions:

External sphincterotomy is a recommended procedure for patients with neurogenic bladder and detrusor-sphincter dyssynergia.
This technique should be considered prior to supravesical diversion in most cases.
