Abstract:
Spinal cord injuries in the past were associated with a very high mortality, predominantly from urologic complications and sepsis. Improvements in the urologic and medical management of these patients have significantly decreased the morbidity and mortality. Many complications may still develop during the urologic management, however. Periodic follow-up is thus essential to recognize and treat urologic complications in order to preserve renal function.
