    Abstract:
    Voiding disorders are a common problem in pediatric urology. Biofeedback is a non-invasive method in the treatment of voiding disorders in childhood. Biofeedback takes aim at the learning or relearning of influencing involuntary functions. We report about our preliminary results of biofeedback training in the treatment of the enuretic syndrome in children. Out of 26 children with pseudo-detrusor-sphincter-dyssynergy 17 could be completely cured and 5 improved considerably. Out of 21 children with motor urgency 9 could be completely cured and 7 children improved. Biofeedback is a successful method to treat children with the enuretic syndrome.
