title: Long-term results of cystolysis (supratrigonal denervation) of the bladder for intractable interstitial cystitis.
abstract: Cystolysis (supratrigonal denervation) of the bladder has had enough reported success to encourage clinical use. We performed cystolysis in 11 patients with long-term followup. Only 1 patient has remained free of symptoms, 3 had improvement in pain but continue to have frequency and nocturia, and 7 failed treatment. The poor long-term results are discussed.
