[Current urological management of traumatic paraplegia]

The management of patients with neurological dysfunctions of the bladder and the sphincter is considerably modified in recent years. The concept of "neurogenic bladder" has evolved due to new fundamental neurophysiological research following the advances of urodynamic investigations and medical imaging techniques as well as progress in drug therapy, surgical treatment and re-education. The current management of a traumatic paraplegia should therefore be prospective and must try to determine prognostic factors.
