    Abstract:
    One hundred eighty patients with spinal cord injury were admitted to our hospital between January, 1980 and June, 1983. Eighty-five of them had cervical lesions, 54 had thoracic lesions and 41 had lumbar lesions. Most of the neurogenic bladders due to spinal cord injury treated in our clinic, could be classified into 3 major patterns: hypoactive detrusor-hypoactive sphincter, hypoactive detrusor-active sphincter, and hyperactive detrusor-hyperactive sphincter. To control the hyperactivity of the detrusor and the sphincter, we employed pharmacotherapy first and then we performed transurethral resection of the bladder neck and prostatectomy (TUR-Bn.P) and nerve block (sacral nerve block, pudendal nerve block, obturator nerve block and lumbar nerve block). In the case of a hypoactive detrusor, we employed TUR-Bn.P, open ileal flap fixation to the bladder and voiding training. Using these procedures, we could make 157 patients catheter-free.
