title: Intermittent Catheterisation of the bladder in patients with neuropathic incontinence of urine.
abstract: 60 patients with neuropathic bladder are presented in whom intermittent catheterisation was attempted as a form of therapy for incontinence over an 18 months period. The treatment was successful in 70% of the patients who presented essentially in an unselected group. It is recommended that this type of treatment is eminently satisfactory for many forms of neuropathic incontinence of urine and patients should be screened and selected for their suitability for such treatment.
