摘要
Various options exist for the management of the lower urinary tract in chronic spinal cord injury. These options include chronic indwelling catheterization, urethral sphincterotomy, and intermittent catherization supplemented with anticholinergic agents. Sixty-four spinal cord injured patients, treated with intermittent catheterization and anticholinergic therapy, were evaluated for long-term efficacy in maintaining upper tract status and preservation or improvement in continence. Complications of therapy were also evaluated. Therapy was based upon initial urodynamic evaluation followed by limited subsequent evaluation of the urinary tract. Mean follow-up was 54 months. Only 1 patient developed hydronephrosis. Fifty-nine patients either became continent or experienced improved continence on therapy. Eight patients required surgical procedures either to increase outlet resistance (2) or to decrease intravesical pressures (6). The most common complication of therapy was urinary tract infection. Thirty-nine infections occurred in 23 patients, 16 of which were febrile. Fifteen patients were non-compliant with treatment recommendations. The only factor related to therapeutic complications which reached statistical significance was non-compliance with therapy. The combined use of intermittent catheterization and anticholinergic agents provides an effective means to prevent hydronephrosis and establish continence in chronic spinal injury.
