Severe bladder trabeculation obviates the need for bladder outlet procedures during augmentation cystoplasty in incontinent patients with neurogenic bladder

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether the degree of preoperative bladder trabeculation in neurogenic bladder (NB) patients is a marker of significant outlet resistance. If so, severe trabeculation may obviate the need for concomitant bladder outlet procedure (BOP) during augmentation cystoplasty (AC). PATIENTS AND METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 48 incontinent patients with NB who had surgery. The patients were divided into two groups: group 1 …
