The purpose of this investigation was to determine the feasibility of striated muscular
augmentation of the urinary bladder (detrusor‐myoplasty, DMP). Initial studies, transposition …

PURPOSE: Current techniques of ventral sacral root stimulation to regain voluntary motor
control of the decentralized urinary bladder depend upon intact parasympathetic innervation …

Afferent and efferent nerve function in the atonic bladder caused by conus medullaris injury
in a rat model was established by intradural microanastomosis of the left L5 ventral root (VR) …

Aims: This is a continuation of studies examining the effectiveness of root repairs and nerve
transfers for bladder reinnervation. Our previous retrograde fluorogold tracing studies from …

Background. Bladder autoaugmentation uses partial detrusorectomy to create a diverticular
bulge in the bladder mucosa. This technique has eliminated certain serious complications of …

Object Nerve transfers are an effective means of restoring control to paralyzed somatic
muscle groups and have recently been shown to be effective in denervated detrusor muscle …

OBJECTIVE Bladder dysfunction after nerve injury has a variable presentation, and extent of
injury determines whether the bladder is spastic or atonic. The authors have proposed a …

Hyperreflexia of the detrusor is an important problem in the treatment of dysfunction of the
lower urinary tract after spinal cord injury. Many treatment modalities have been proposed …

The ability of mixed spinal nerve roots to regenerate and reinnervate the urinary bladder
was examined in young adult female cats. Using microsurgical technique, a unilateral …

To evaluate the effects of central detrusor denervation on bladder compliance, we studied
27 patients with complete suprasacral spinal cord injury in whom intradural posterior sacral …
