[Urinary bladder cancer as a late sequela of spinal cord injury : Decision-making aids for assessment of this causal association].

Background: There is to date no convincing literature that has assessed the association between traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) and the later development of urinary bladder cancer. The aim of this work is to present medical experts as well as the national accident insurance and the social courts decision-making aids based on the latest medical scientific knowledge, for assessment of this causal association.

Materials And Methods: A study conducted between April 1998 and March 2017 in the BG Trauma Hospital Hamburg forms the basis for the decision-making aids.

[Neuralgia of the pudendal nerve following violent trauma: analgesia by pudendal neuromodulation].

Pudendal neuralgia is a neuropathic disease which is predominantly caused by pelvic trauma with pressure or stretching strain of the pudendal nerve. The Nantes criteria are used for the differential diagnostics of this disease and therapy includes pressure-relieving and analgesic measures using laparoscopic or open decompression procedures. This article reports the case of a female patient who developed pudendal neuralgia following violent trauma to the pelvic and urogenital regions.

[Neuro-urological dysfunction of the lower urinary tract in CNS diseases: pathophysiology, epidemiology, and treatment options].

The lower urinary tract (LUT) is regulated by a complex neural network that is subject to supraspinal control. Neurological disorders, especially of the central nervous system (CNS), can rapidly lead to disruption of this control. Multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, multiple system atrophy, and stroke are neurological disorders which quite frequently cause dysfunction of the LUT.

Morbidity of urodynamic testing in patients with spinal cord injury: is antibiotic prophylaxis necessary?

Study Design: Prospective, non-randomized study.

Objectives: To assess the incidence of urinary tract infection after urodynamics in patients with spinal cord injury.

Setting: Outpatient clinic of a university hospital in Germany.

Material And Methods: Each of 11 patients (8 women, 3 men) underwent 12 SANS treatment sessions.

Indications: overactive bladder (5 patients), chronic nonobstructive urinary retention (3 patients) and pelvic pain (3 patients).
