Abstract:
Objective To find the differences of bladder and urethra dysfunction between sacral spinal cord injury and Thoracolumbar spinal cord injury.Methods According to the criteria of inclusion and exclusion, we collected 30 patients in the study group.There were 22 males and 8 females, aged 17 -74 ( mean, 47 ) years, with duration between 7 - 36 ( mean, 18) months.There were nineteen cases of thoracolumbar spinal cord injury and 11 cases of sacral spinal cord injury in the study group.We conducted a retrospective analysis of the urodynamic data of the 30 patients in the group.They were divided into a sacral spinal cord injury group and a thoracolumbar spinal cord injury group according to the location of the site of injury.The urodynamic findings of the two groups were comparable.SPSS 16.0 was used to compare the differences between the groups by ANOVA/rank sum test.Results We measured the free flow rate parameters between thoracolumbar and sacral spinal cord injury groups.The maximum free flow rate was ( 13.0 ±5.1 ) vs ( 13.0 ±5.8) ml/s, the free flow rate at 2 s was (6.5 ±5.1 ) vs (6.9 ±6.4) ml/s, the mean free flow rate was (5.4± 2.4) vs ( 3.4 ± 0.5 ) ml/s, urine output volume was ( 279.1 ±131.1 ) vs (450.0 ± 26.6) ml and the residual urine volume was (209.5 ± 180.7 ) vs (434.0 ± 215.0) ml.The residual urine volume and urine output volume of sacral the spinal cord injury group was higher than the thoracic spinal cord injury group (P ＜ 0.05).We also measured the the cystometric parameters.The maximum urinary flow rate was (16.0±23.3) vs (7.1 ±3.3) ml/s, average flow rate was (4.6 ±2.3) vs (3.9 ± 2.3) ml/s, the flow rate after voiding 2 s was (4.6 ± 3.1 ) vs (2.2 ± 3.2) ml/s, urine output volume was (268.4 ± 113.9) vs ( 129.0 ± 97.9) ml, detrusor pressure of maximum flow rate was (58.8 ± 22.0) vs (56.5 ± 14.5) cm H2 O, flow rate of maximum detrusor pressure was (4.8 ± 2.0) vs (4.8 ± 4.4) ml/s,the maximum detrusor pressure was (68.0 ± 31.0) vs (54.6 ± 20.2) cm H2O and the average pressure of voiding period was (47.4 ±20.0) vs (42.6 ± 13.9) cm H2O.The urine output volume of the thoracolumbar spinal cord injury group was lower than sacral spinal cord injury group ( P ＜ 0.05 ).There were no significant differences in bladder sensation and coordination of bladder/urethra between the thoracolumbar spinal cord injury group and the sacral spinal cord injury group (P ＞ 0.05).The incidence of low compliance bladder in the thoracolumbar spinal cord injury patients (4/11) was higher than the sacral spinal injury group, the incidence of high compliance bladder in the sacral spinal cord injury patients (11/19) was higherthan the thoracolumbar group.Conclusions The urodynamics' difference between the sacral spinal cord injury group and thoracolumbar spinal cord injury group was observed in bladder compliance and bladder detrusor contractility changes.Relatively, the incidence of decreased detrusor contractility and high compliance bladder in sacral spinal cord injury patients was higher, and the cidence of detrusor hyperreflexia and low compliance bladder in thoracolumbar spinal cord injury patients was higher.
