  • Title: Hydrostatic overdistension for contracted tuberculous bladder. A review of 61 cases.
    Author: O'Flynn JD.
    Journal: Eur Urol; 1977; 3(2):73-5. PubMed ID: 862636.
    Abstract:
    When a contracted tuberculous bladder is not improved on anti-tuberculosis drug treatment the bladder capacity can be increase by hydrostatic overdistension, done either cystoscopically if reflux is present, or by using a balloon catheter. Of 61 cases so treated, 40 showed marked improvement and 24 of these needed only one overdistension, and the rest required more than one treatment. Nine cases showed no improvement but no further deterioration and 12 cases had continued deterioration.
