Summary
Intravesical transurethral bladder stimulation effectively increases bladder capacity in children. This minimally invasive procedure shows sustained benefits, potentially offering an alternative to surgical augmentation.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Pediatric Urology
- Rehabilitative Medicine
Background:
- Intravesical transurethral bladder stimulation is a diagnostic and rehabilitative technique.
- This procedure has demonstrated success in triggering sensory-induced detrusor contractions.
- A key finding is its ability to enhance bladder capacity while maintaining low filling and leak pressures.
