Prospective study of methods of renal function evaluation in patients with neurogenic bladder dysfunction.

Objective: To evaluate the precision of methods used to assess renal function in patients with neurogenic voiding dysfunction.

Materials And Methods: This multicenter prospective study, which was set in Toulouse and Lyon, France, included 60 patients (mean age, 48.9 ± 15.

[External sphincterotomy using bipolar vaporisation in saline. First results].

Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility, efficacy and tolerance of external urethral sphincter vaporization in saline for treating detrusor-sphincter dyssynergia.

Material: Between 2009 and 2011 a monocentric prospective study of ten men mean age 58±9 years with neurogenic detrusor-sphincter dyssynergia was carried out. Preoperative evaluation included kidney ultrasound scan, 24-hour creatinine clearance, urodynamics, retrograde and voiding urethrocystography and an at least 6 months temporary stent sphincterotomy.

[Epidemiological description of patients with neurological conditions in kidney transplant recipients].

Objectives: The aim of this study was to describe the epidemiology of neuropathic bladder in kidney transplant patients.

Patients And Methods: Patients with terminal chronic kidney disease related to neurogenic bladder were sorted out from a population of 1286 kidney transplant recipients operated between 1993 and 2008.

Results: Thirty-three patients, 26 men and seven women, mean age 46.

[Long-term outcome of patients with renal transplant and neural tube defect].

Purpose: To evaluate the long term outcome of renal transplant in patients with a neural tube defect causing voiding dysfunctions.

Patient And Methods: Between 1993 and 2010, 18 cadaveric renal transplants were performed in 16 patients (5 females and 11 males) older than 15 years with a neural tube defect and voiding dysfunction.

Results: The patients had dialysis since the mean age of 27.
