Abstract

The diagnostic methods and treatments of neurogenic bladders are reviewed from the spinal shock period to the final stage of bladder function. Emphasis is placed upon intermittent catheterisation and urodynamic investigations with discussion on the respective value of some pharmacological agents and transurethral operations. © 1979, International Spinal Cord Society.
