  • Title: Continent reconstruction of detrusor hyperreflexia by sacral bladder denervation combined with continent vesicostomy.
    Author: Hohenfellner M, Fahle H, Dahms S, Linn JF, Hutschenreiter G, Thüroff JW.
    Journal: Urology; 1996 Jun; 47(6):930-1. PubMed ID: 8677596.
    Abstract:
    We describe a two-stage surgical procedure for complex hyperreflexic detrusor dysfunction refractory to conservative therapy. First, ventral and dorsal sacral rhizotomies (S2 to S4/5) are performed to restore vesical storage function and abolish autonomic dysreflexia. Then, after an interval of several weeks to allow for detrusor relaxation, continent vesicostomy is performed for suprapubic clean intermittent catheterization. The procedure is effective both objectively and subjectively, is only moderately invasive, and requires neither sophisticated nor expensive medical equipment.
