  • Title: The dissolution of urinary mucus after cystoplasty.
    Author: Gillon G, Mundy AR.
    Journal: Br J Urol; 1989 Apr; 63(4):372-4. PubMed ID: 2713619.
    Abstract:
    Three agents have been tested for mucolytic activity to prevent or treat difficulties in bladder emptying following augmentation and substitution cystoplasty, particularly in patients emptying by intermittent self-catheterisation. Carbocysteine produced precipitation of mucus, which was found not to be helpful. N-acetylcysteine and urea both dissolved mucus, but urea proved to be more effective.
