  • Title: [Indications and results of transurethral 12 o'clock sphincterotomy in the therapy of neurogenic disorders of bladder emptying in transverse paralysis].
    Author: Göcking K, Gebhardt K.
    Journal: Z Urol Nephrol; 1986 Apr; 79(4):207-11. PubMed ID: 3727819.
    Abstract:
    In 23 male patients with tetra- and paraplegia of a rehabilitation clinic for patients paralysed by a transverse lesion of the cord the transurethral 12-o'clock-sphincterotomy of the external vesical sphincter was performed on account of the neuromuscular dysfunction of the urinary bladder. In 78% of the patients the comparison of preoperative and postoperative clinical and urodynamic findings yields a positive result, i.e. decrease of the residual urine, reduction of the micturition pressure, regression of urinary stasis and reflux. The method is suited to influence favourably the life of these patients.
