Neurourologic evaluation and urologic management of spinal dysraphism.
The urologic management of the spina bifida child has evolved considerably over the past 10 years. Clinicians now more fully understand the nature of the bladder dysfunction and are therefore able to modify this behavior by either conservative or surgical measures. The spina bifida child and parents can now be confident that the bladder can be appropriately rehabilitated with significant improvement in quality of life.
