title: [Bladder dysfunction due to spinal cord compression. Treatment modes and results].
abstract: Bladder dysfunction is often observed in cases of spinal compression and is commonly caused by spinal tumors, trauma, or degenerative spine disease. Microsurgical decompression is the most important therapy. The earlier microsurgery is performed, the better the chances are for recovery of bladder function.
