title: Botulinum toxin: poisoning the spastic bladder and urethra.
abstract: Botulinum toxin has proven to be a safe and effective therapy for a variety of somatic and autonomic motor disorders. Urologists are now finding clinical success with urethral and bladder injection of this fascinating toxin for detrusor sphincter dyssynergia, conditions of pelvic floor spasticity, and overactive bladder. One cannot deny the ingenuity of man in transforming the lethal toxin of Clostridium botulinum into a modern day therapeutic medicine.
