Abstract
30 patients with neurogenic bladder dysfunction were treated with intermittent self-catheterization. Since the application of this method, urine loss has disappeared almost completely and the urinary infection rate has decreased. In some cases there was radiological improvement of the upper urinary tract. In all the other patients no kidney deterioration was found on intravenous pyelography. In most cases the method brought a real improvement in social life.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
