title: [Changes in the urogenital tract of spinal cord injured patient--uro-check-list applied to representative subjects (author's transl)].
abstract: On the basis of a URO-CHECK-list drawn up by the rehabilitation centre Tobelbad near Graz, 120 spinal cord injured persons were re-examined with the purpose of identifying changes in the urogenital tract. The classification and evaluation of the urological complications revealed a surprisingly high percentage of severe changes which had occurred during the first decade after the accident. As a consequence, it must be ensured that spinal cord injured persons receive yearly check-ups in a urologically oriented rehabilitation centre where all modern examination methods, including electronic techniques for the measurement of bladder pressure and urethral resistance, are available.
