title: Bladder autoaugmentation.
abstract: Autoaugmentation has proved effective in many patients in lowering bladder pressures, increasing bladder capacity, and improving their related symptoms. Patients with sever bladder hyperreflexia, uncontrolled with medications, have also benefited greatly from autoaugmentation procedures. Only patients who failed conventional medical management have undergone autoaugmentation at the authors' institution.
