Abstract
The non-neurogenic decompensated bladder is a poorly defined entity. In an attempt to elucidate this condition 100 consecutive patients with non-neurogenic decompensated bladders were studied, etiology was sought and treatment with intermittent self-catheterization was done. Of the patients 34% were able to resume voiding. Bacteriuria and pyuria were decreased from 90 to 18%. Complications were few and over-all acceptance was excellent. A definition of non-neurogenic decompensated bladder was established.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
