[Neurogenic bladder therapy in patients with spinal dysraphism. Actual strategy]
Purpose:
Retrospective evaluation of conservative and surgical treatment of detrusor hyperactivity in patients with spinal dysraphisms having been observed in our clinic during the last 20 years.
Material And Method:
In the period 1989/2009, 87 patients in the age between 0 and 35 years suffering from the above disease were monitored. The period was divided into three terms. Term I: 1989/1995, Term II: 1996/2005, Term III: 2006/2009. 28 patients were followed-up in the Term I, 58 patients in the Term II and 69 patients in the Term III. The applied types of therapy (conservative, surgical, mini-invasive methods) were specified within the mentioned patients' groups and substitution alterations were monitored.
Results:
54 patients were treated conservatively, 33 patients underwent an operation. During the Term I, 23 of the total 28 patients were treated conservatively, 5 (17.9%) patients were operated (3x ileocecal replacement, 2x ileocystoplasty). In Term II, 58 patients were treated, 23 (39.7%) thereof were operated (18x ileocystoplasty, 4x gastrocystoplasty, 1x sigmoideocystoplasty). In the Term III, 69 patients were followed-up and treated, 5 (7.2%) of them were operated (3x ileocystoplasty, 1x gastrocystoplasty, 1x sigmoideocystoplasty), and other 5 (7.2%) underwent a mini-invasive procedure by Botulinumtoxin A application.

The Micturition Reflex
The process begins with bladder filling, where the bladder wall stretches as urine accumulates. This stretching activates the urine storage reflex, mediated by the sacral spinal segments and the pontine storage center. Efferent sympathetic impulses stimulate the detrusor muscle to relax and the internal urethral sphincter to contract, facilitating urine...

Urinary Bladder
In males, the bladder is situated in front of the rectum, while in females, it is positioned anterior to the vagina and uterus. The bladder floor contains an inverted triangular area called the trigone, defined by the two ureteric...
