[Specific features of urethral diseases in spinal cord injury patients].
This article discusses all of the urethral diseases observed in patients with neurogenic bladder. The frequency of these disorders has decreased considerably with progress in intermittent catheterization and bladder retraining. However, urologists may occasionally be required to manage an urethral diverticulum, or an ulcer of the urethra over an indwelling catheter and must be familiar with the specific features in this setting.
