title: [Treatment of infra-vesical obstructions in neurologic bladders. 27 cases].
abstract: Of a total of 176 cases of spina bifida observed from a urological standpoint, we detected an infra-vesical obstruction in 27, the diagnosis being based upon urological findings alone: dysuria, residue and infection. The 11 boys had a disorder of the striated sphincter justifying sphincterotomy, the technique and results of which are discussed, in terms of symptoms and signs resulting from the obstruction, with respect to continence and the effects on the upper tract. 16 of our patients were female and the nature of the infra-vesical obstruction was far more uncertain. A disorder of the striated sphincter was present in the girl treated by a Y-V plasty of the anterior aspect of the bladder neck passing low down on the anterior aspect of the urethra. We also present results relating to residue, retention, dysuria, continence and the upper urinary tract. Overall, these results are too recent and difficult and no definite conclusions may be drawn.
