[Temporary ureteral stents in patients with neuorgenic dysfunction of the urinary bladder]
Abstract:
Biodegradable spiral stents were used in the treatment of detrusor external sphincter dyssynergia (4 patients) and detrusor areflexia with external sphincter spasticity (3 patients). All these patients had spinal injuries. After the stent placement all the patients could urinate almost without residual urine. In patients with detrusor-external sphincter dyssynergia mean voiding pressure was 79 cm water before treatment and 37 cm 10 weeks after the stent introduction. Biodegradable spiral stents are a promising treatment for patients with neurogenic bladder.
