Surgical management of the neurogenic bladder and bowel.

Spontaneous Bladder Abscess in an Adult Female

Introduction: Bladder abscess is an extremely rare occurrence without predisposing factors such as neurogenic bladder, trauma, or inflammatory bowel disease. Case: A 52-year-old woman was referred to Gynecologic Oncology for surgical management of a complex partially cystic and solid adnexal mass. She had no known risk factors for a bladder abscess. Intraoperative findings revealed a complex ab...

The current management of the neurogenic bladder in children with spina bifida.

The urological care of the neurogenic bladder consists of 2 components: medical management with preservation of renal function and quality-oflife issues with achieving dryness and independence of bladder and bowel management. Both components are equally important for patients to live a healthy and fulfilled life. This report explores the diagnosis of the neurogenic bladder; quality-of-life issu...

The Role of Appendix in the Management of Biliary Atresia Associated with Bowel Atresia

Biliary atresia is characterized by the progressive obliteration of extra- and intrahepatic biliary duct system leading to the obstruction of bile flow in infancy. The cause(s) of biliary atresia remain unclear and many surgical options for bypassing the atretic segment have been described.1-3 Biliary atresia may be associated with small bowel atresia.  The surgical interventions for biliary dr...

Quick note on tissue engineering-based surgical measures to treat patients with neurogenic bladder-due detrusor/sphincter dyssynergia.

To treat the neurogenic bladder-due detrusor/urethral rhabdosphincter dyssynergia, early combined clean intermittent catheterization/ pharmacotherapy (anticholinergic-, β3-adrenoceptor agonist drugs) management may be at times crowned with success of preserving an adequate bladder compliance and renal safe conditions.The persistence, instead, of elevated bladder filling pressure levels with hig...
