  • Title: Intermittent catheterisation in the management of children with neuropathic bladder.
    Author: Withycombe J, Whitaker R, Hunt G.
    Journal: Lancet; 1978 Nov 04; 2(8097):981-3. PubMed ID: 82002.
    Abstract:
    Twenty-three children with neuropathic bladder have been treated by intermittent catheterisation during the past 3 years. Twelve are now practically dry, nine are drier than before, and two have remained wet. Urinary infections have not been a major problem, but it is too soon to assess the long-term effects on the upper renal tract. Intermittent catheterisation lightens the burden for the mothers. Four children catheterise themselves and two of them are now independent.
