title: Neurogenic vesical dysfunction.
abstract: Women with neurogenic vesical dysfunction are prone to the development of urologic complications. These patients require diagnostic evaluation including the use of urodynamic study, imaging, and often endoscopy. These studies ultimately determine whether medical management or surgical intervention will minimize the long term risk of urologic complications. Proper definitive treatment of this patient group effectively enhances quality of life and patient satisfaction.
