Abstract:
This article discusses the ideal neurogenic bladder management team for patients who have neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD). It emphasizes the importance of a diverse team, including urologists, physiatrists, neurologist and others, working collaboratively to prevent complications and enhance patient outcomes. Owing to the unique nuances of the various neurologic conditions and patterns of NLUTD dysfunction, the roles of different specialists in the interdisciplinary team are outlined. This article describes 3 team models: multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary, highlighting the benefits of collaborative approaches.

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...
