Abstract:
Understanding the neurophysiology of micturition has led to pharmacologic manipulation and improvement in rates of mortality and morbidity. Use of intermittent self-catheterization and the artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) has improved the "quality of life" of these patients. Implantation of various penile prostheses has improved sexual rehabilitation. Urinary diversion is the "last resort" surgery.
