Description:
Textbook of the Neurogenic Bladder, Second Edition covers all aspects of the neurogenic bladder from aetiology and pathophysiology to diagnosis and treatment of all associated problems. This evidence-based text is an essential reference source for residents, physicians, and healthcare professionals involved in the diagnosis and management of neurogenic bladder patients.
With over 300 superbly illustrated images that clarify the differing states of neurogenic bladder dysfunction, this one-stop resource expands on the strong reputation of the first edition to highlight the new diagnostic techniques that have emerged to complement traditional management. These major advances range from non-surgical, electrical, and surgical treatments to neurostimulation and tissue engineering.
Topics include:
the pathophysiology of neurogenic bladder dysfunction and the ways it alters vesico-urethral function
an overview of quality of life instruments that help determine the main outcome of interventions
imaging, electrophysiology, and extensive urodynamic studies in adults and children
new non-surgical options and new ways to administer traditional treatments
a full chapter on a new classification system by its developer, Professor Anders Mattiasson.
