title: Bladder acontractility: detrusor myoplasty and other options.
abstract: Patients with bladder acontractility often rely on clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) for bladder emptying. A recent study has reported that successful latissimus dorsi detrusor myoplasty (LDDM) allows volitional voiding and removes the need for long-term CIC.
