The smooth muscle of the normal bladder wall must have some specific properties. It must
be very compliant and able to reorganise itself during filling and emptying to accommodate …

We report our technique of direct stimulation of the sacral roots governing voiding by which
the functional and anatomic integrity of these nerve roots can be assessed in patients with …

Bladder denervation can provide useful rehabilitation of bladder function when other
measures have failed. Idiopathic hyperactivity may respond best to hyperbaric distension or …

OBJECTIVE: The International Prostate Symptom Score (I-PSS) is considered a benchmark
in defining the severity of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). However, its relationship with …

Urodynamic analysis has revealed a high proportion of uninhibited bladder activity in adult
enuresis. There was no associated neurological deficit to explain this abnormality. There …

A newly revised operation for controlling spasticity in cerebral palsy patients, selective
dorsal rhizotomy (SDR), has the potential to affect bladder function. The goal of this …

Purpose: We assessed the impact of convenience voids (CVs) on urinary frequency volume
chart (FVC) analysis. Materials and Methods: A total of 53 healthy volunteers completed a …

Stimulation of the human sacral nerves evokes, at higher voltages, a urethral relaxation
which may be independent of bladder contraction. It persists after nerve section when the …

✓ The authors report the treatment of incontinence due to uninhibited bladder contractions
by selective sacral neurectomy in nine patients, four without evidence of neurological …

The bladder can be denervated at several levels: centrally, at the level of the sacral nerves;
peripherally, on the pelvic nerves; or in the bladder, by cutting the relevant structures, by …
