Abstract:
In patients with spinal cord injury, detrusor sphincter dyssynergia is a common and troublesome problem that may evoke progressive deterioration of upper urinary tract and urinary tract infection including sepsis. Instead of external sphincterotomy, urethral wallstent may be the useful treatment for the patients with detrusor sphincter dyssynergia refractory to conventional treatment. In addition, this method has some advantages of less invassive, less morbid and simpler technique than other treatment methods. We report our preliminary results of the urethral wallstent(MemothermR) for the treatment of 2 patients with complicated detrusor sphincter dyssynergia.
