[10 years' experience with intermittent catheterization in neurogenic bladder in children and adolescents: study of 165 cases].
Intermittent clean catheterization has been proposed in 1975 for the treatment of neurogenic bladder in children and teen-agers. We report results in 165 patients with neurogenic bladder (111 girls, 54 boys) from 1976 to 1986; 9 patients were lost for follow-up. Myelomeningocele was the cause of the neurogenic bladder in 132 cases. The effects on continence, upper-tract and urinary infection are studied. These data show that such a method is simple, harmless and effective for the protection of the upper urinary tract and for the control of urinary incontinence.
