  • Title: [Treatment of neurogenic detrusor hyperactivity: enterocystoplasty].
    Author: Game X, Karsenty G, Chartier-Kastler E, Ruffion A.
    Journal: Prog Urol; 2007 May; 17(3):584-96. PubMed ID: 17622095.
    Abstract:
    The importance of a good capacity bladder reservoir able to fill at low pressure has now been clearly established. These properties have a double advantage: they ensure urinary continence and prevent damage to the upper urinary tract. In the case of failure of the various medical treatments, including botulinum toxin injections, surgical bladder augmentation can be considered, especially in the presence of poor bladder compliance. The authors present the technical details of bladder augmentation by enterocystoplasty or by alternative techniques and their medium- and long-term results, and define the postoperative surveillance of this type of surgery.
