1
Neurogenic bladder in patients with spinal cord lesion
2007 JJ Wyndaele MD DBMSci PhD FEBU FISCOS
2
Prevalence neurogenic bladder in spinal lesion Myelodysplasia
90% -97% (Smith 1965) Spinal stenosis 61-62% (Tammela et al 1992, Kawaguchi 2001) Spine surgery 38%-60% (Boulis et al 2001, Brooks, ME 1985) Disc disease 28%-87% (Bartolin et al 1999, O’Flynn et al 1992) Spinal cord injury ? majority

History

UK survey GPRD Increased risk renal failure paraplegia versus general population x 7.5 x 8 x 5.9 x 3.5 Lawrenson, Wyndaele, Vlachonikolas, Farmer, Glickman Neuroepidemiology 2001; 20:

Bladder management Life Quality of life
6
Management neuro-urology after spinal cord lesion
Prevent deterioration of the kidneys = permit to survive Prevention of incontinence and infection = permit a good life

Innervation lower urinary tract

Neurogenic Actions Sym PSym Som Bladder - + Bladder neck Extern US (?)
Pelvic floor
10
Neuropathy lower urinary tract
S2 S3 S4 T10-L1
11
function of lower tract
Do not forget ! Status upper tract depends greatly on function of lower tract
12
Importance of intravesical pressure
Do not forget !
13
Pressure development during filling

Pressure development during filling
Pressure development during voiding
15
SCL Urinary Function Spinal shock bladder
Diagnosis type neurogenic bladder Treatment - rehabilitation Follow-up
16
Avoid overdistention and infection
1. Spinal shock bladder Bladder drainage intermittent catheterization suprapubic catheter indwelling transurethral catheter Avoid overdistention and infection
17
2. Urologic Diagnosis Urodynamic function Status upper tract
Other complications
18
Diagnosis Most tests as used in non neurogenic: History, clinical examination and neurourologic testing, urine test, renal function Voluntary control of anal sphincter and perineal muscles
19
Combination of these data permits a fairly accurate diagnosis of completeness, detrusor function and sphincter function in up to 80 %
20
Clinical observation is very important
Spontaneous voiding Leakage when moving Smelly urine, Fever and other signs of infection Calculi evacuated et al
21
Diagnosis Urodynamic investigation: cornerstone of the diagnosis and prognosis. Preferably video urodynamics
22
Main types of LUT neuropathy in SCL
23
Further diagnostics Ultrasound Endoscopy
24
Expectations of management
Rehab team Kidneys safe No complications Continent Affordable Patient Continent No complications Affordable Kidneys safe
25
Conservative treatment neurogenic bladder
26
Conservative treatment overview
Behavioural therapy B.1 Behavioural methods Toiletting assistance B.2 Triggered reflex voiding B.3 Bladder expression (Crede and Valsalva manouvre) Catheters C.1 Intermittent catheterisation C.2 Indwelling catheterisation C.3 Condom catheter and external appliances Pharmacotherapy
27
Behavioural methods Scheduled voiding Consecutive voids
Increased interval Drinking habits Toilet accessibility Patient’s mobility Keeping voiding diary
28
Triggered voiding and Valsalva-Crede voiding
Prove first urodynamically safe: Basically dangerous methods.
29
Intermittent catheterisation
First choice of treatment Proper education and teaching necessary. CIC
30
Pharmacological treatment
Decrease bladder overactivity Anti bacterial Peroral, Intravesical instillation, transdermal, transrectal
31
Indwelling catheters Short-term ID during the acute phase
Transurethral ID not safe for long-term use in neuropathic patients Bladder screening for bladder cancer is mandatory especially in those with ID/SC more than 5-10 years.
32
Less urethral complications
Suprapubic catheter Less urethral complications
33
Condom Catheter Long-term use does not increase the risk of UTI
Complications less if good hygiene care, frequently change CC and low bladder pressures.
34
Surgery neurogenic bladder
35
Surgery to increase detrusor contractility + abolish reflex activity
SARS + Dorsal Rhizotomy
36
Possible alternatives to avoid rhizotomy: under research
Selective anodal block Cryotherapy deafferentation SPARSI (anterior + posterior rooths)
37
Surgery decrease outlet resistance
TUI sphincter Intraurethral stents Botulinum Toxin
38
Surgery to lower detrusor contractility – intravesical pressure
Botulinum Toxin in detrusor Enterocystoplasty Autoaugmentation
39
Surgery to increase sphincter resistance
Artificial urinary sphincter Sling procedures Resorbable or non –resorbable bulking agents
40
Diversion Acceptable treatment in selected cases
41
Future ? Restoring function by nerve transplants? Cell therapy ?
Stem cell therapy ?
42
4. Follow-up Lifelong every 1 – 2 years Must include
Imaging UT / function UT Urine Blood (Urodynamics)
43
Quality of life (meta-analysis)
SCI significantly lower in all subscales compared with normative population Neurogenic pain, spasticity, and neurogenic bladder and bowel problems give lower QL scores.
44
Quality of life in primary caregivers (meta-analysis)
significantly lower compared to age-matched healthy population based controls No significant relation was demonstrated with the duration of injury, lesion levels, ASIA scores, degree of spasticity, bladder and/or bowel incontinence and pressure sores respectively.
45
Causes for readmission
“The leading cause of rehospitalization are diseases of the genitourinary system, including urinary tract infections” Cardenas et al Arch Physic Med Rehab 2004
46
Do spinal cord injury patients always get the best treatment for neuropathic bladder after discharge from regional spinal injuries centre? Vaidyanathan et al Spinal Cord 2004
47
Conclusions Urinary problems less dangerous for life expectancy than some decades ago Follow up life long Urinary problems still very much influencing quality of life Bladder management cross-disciplinary work Patient is central Do not forget relatives
