Technique of external sphincter balloon dilatation.
We report on our technique and early experience with balloon dilatation of the external sphincter in 7 spinal cord-injured men with detrusor external sphincter dyssynergia and elevated voiding pressure. Following dilatation, bladder emptying into condom catheters was achieved in all patients without dribbling incontinence.
