  • Title: Clean intermittent catheterization in congenital neurogenic bladder.
    Author: Opsomer RJ, Aad AA, Van Cangh PJ, Wese FX.
    Journal: Acta Urol Belg; 1989; 57(2):537-43. PubMed ID: 2763930.
    Abstract:
    The aim of our study was to evaluate clean intermittent catheterization in children and young adults with congenital neurogenic bladder dysfunction. Thirty-four patients with a follow-up of more than 3 months were included in the study. Eighty-six % of patients observed a reduction of the urinary infection rate. Urinary continence improved in 91% (however among these patients 82% also took either anticholinergic or alpha-stimulating drugs). In 46% of the subjects an improvement of the upper tracts was observed. No major complication was observed.
