  • Title: [The value of hydrostatic balloon dilatation with adjuvant pentosan polysulfate medication in therapy of chronic interstitial cystitis].
    Author: Beer M, Riedl R, Schmiedt E.
    Journal: Helv Chir Acta; 1989 Aug; 56(3):327-9. PubMed ID: 2478501.
    Abstract:
    Twenty-one female patients suffering from interstitial cystitis were treated by oral medication of pentosane-polysulfates (200 mg/6 months). In cases with a capacity below 150 ml (n = 6) a distension therapy of bladder was performed simultaneously. The combined therapy showed good therapeutic effects for 1-2 years defined by the increase of voiding volumina and decrease of nycturia and pains. Medication of pentosane-polysulfates alone was of lower therapeutic value. Concerning urodynamic investigations we found an increase of capacity while the quality of bladder compliance did not change. We recommend these conservative therapies as an experimental alternative therapy before bladder augmentation.
