RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO) has a major impact on patients' quality of life and can lead to upper urinary tract complications. Intradetrusor botulinum toxin type A injections are administered as second-line treatment to these patients following the failure of anticholinergic agents. The aim of the DETOX 2 study is to propose a consensus definition of the failure of intradetrusor botulinum toxin injections for NDO in patients presenting spinal cord injury, spina bifida, or multiple sclerosis (MS) with self-catheterization. METHOD: This study followed the method adopted by the French National Authority for Health for recommendations by consensus. Based on a review of the literature and a preliminary survey, a steering committee compiled a questionnaire and selected a rating group comprising 16 experts from the Neuro-Urology Committee of the French Urology Association (cnuAFU) and Genulf. The experts were asked to complete the online questionnaire. At the end of the first round, all participants came together to discuss any disagreements and a second-round online questionnaire was completed to reach a consensus. RESULTS: Thirteen of the 16 experts approached completed both rounds of questionnaires. A strong consensus was reached for two proposals (median score = 9/10) which were therefore included in the definition from the first round: at least one repeat injection of the same botulinum toxin at the same dose must be given to rule out failure on technical grounds and a duration of efficacy <3 months must be considered a failure. At the end of round 2, a relative consensus was reached regarding the clinical criterion defining failure (median score = 7/10) and the urodynamic criterion of failure (median score = 8/10). An additional proposal was selected during this second round on the need for a voiding diary (median score = 8/10). CONCLUSION: The first consensus definition of failure of an intradetrusor injection of TB-A for NDO has been achieved with this study: persistence of detrusor overactivity with maximum detrusor pressures >40 cm H2O and/or a compliance issue and/or persistence of urinary incontinence and/or urgency and/or a number of daily self-catheterizations >8/day and/or efficacy <3 months. This study will help to standardize research on the failure of the intradetrusor botulinum toxin for NDO in clinical practice and clinical research.

BACKGROUND: While intravesical injections of botulinum neurotoxin A (BoNT-A) are currently recommended for patients experiencing refractory neurogenic overactive bladder and/or detrusor overactivity (OAB/DO), it is unclear how much this therapy is effective and sustainable in the long-term in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). OBJECTIVES: To assess the mid-term continuation rate of BoNT-A injections to treat neurogenic OAB/DO in MS patients and to investigate MS-specific risk factors for discontinuation. METHODS: This retrospective study involved 11 French university hospital centers. All MS patients who received BoNT-A to treat neurogenic OAB/DO between 2008 and 2013 and were subsequently followed up for at least 5 years were eligible. RESULTS: Of the 196 MS patients included, 159 (81.1%) were still under BoNT-A 5 years after the first injection. The combination of the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS < 6 or ⩾ 6) and of the MS type (relapsing-remitting vs progressive) predicted the risk of discontinuation. This risk was 5.5% for patients with no risk factor, whereas patients presenting with one or two risk factors were 3.3 and 5.7 times more likely to discontinue, respectively. CONCLUSION: BoNT-A is a satisfying mid-term neurogenic OAB/DO therapy for most MS patients. Combining EDSS and MS type could help predict BoNT-A discontinuation.

BACKGROUND: After stroke, kinematic measures obtained with non-robotic and robotic devices are highly recommended to precisely quantify the sensorimotor impairments of the upper-extremity and select the most relevant therapeutic strategies. Although the ArmeoSpring exoskeleton has demonstrated its effectiveness in stroke motor rehabilitation, its interest as an assessment tool has not been sufficiently documented. The aim of this study was to investigate the psychometric properties of selected kinematic parameters obtained with the ArmeoSpring in post-stroke patients. METHODS: This study involved 30 post-stroke patients (mean age = 54.5 ± 16.4 years; time post-stroke = 14.7 ± 26.7 weeks; Upper-Extremity Fugl-Meyer Score (UE-FMS) = 40.7 ± 14.5/66) who participated in 3 assessment sessions, each consisting of 10 repetitions of the 'horizontal catch' exercise. Five kinematic parameters (task and movement time, hand path ratio, peak velocity, number of peak velocity) and a global Score were computed from raw ArmeoSpring' data. Learning effect and retention were analyzed using a 2-way repeated-measures ANOVA, and reliability was investigated using the intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) and minimal detectable change (MDC). RESULTS: We observed significant inter- and intra-session learning effects for most parameters except peak velocity. The measures performed in sessions 2 and 3 were significantly different from those of session 1. No additional significant difference was observed after the first 6 trials of each session and successful retention was also highlighted for all the parameters. Relative reliability was moderate to excellent for all the parameters, and MDC values expressed in percentage ranged from 42.6 to 102.8%. CONCLUSIONS: After a familiarization session, the ArmeoSpring can be used to reliably and sensitively assess motor impairment and intervention effects on motor learning processes after a stroke. Trial registration The study was approved by the local hospital ethics committee in September 2016 and was registered under number 05-0916.

PURPOSE: Data are lacking on long-term outcomes of intradetrusor injections of botulinum toxin A for neurogenic detrusor overactivity. The aim of this study was to assess the outcomes of intradetrusor injections of botulinum toxin A for neurogenic detrusor overactivity after more than 10 years of followup. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the charts of all consecutive neurological patients who had received onabotulinumtoxin A or abobotulinumtoxin A intradetrusor injections for neurogenic detrusor overactivity between January 2002 and November 2007 at a total of 3 academic centers. The primary outcome measure was the 10-year discontinuation rate. Other outcomes of interest were failure, reasons for discontinuation and subsequent treatments of neurogenic detrusor overactivity. Discontinuation-free and failure-free survival was estimated by Kaplan-Meier analyses. RESULTS: A total of 140 patients were included in study. The 10-year discontinuation-free and failure-free survival rates were 49.1% and 73%, respectively. The most common reason for discontinuation was failure in 43.7% of cases, which was primary and secondary in 17.2% and 26.5%, respectively. Secondary failure occurred after a median of 8 injections and a median of 80.1 months from the first injection. Other reasons for discontinuation were patient decision in 28.1% of patients, nonbotulinum toxin A related improvement of urinary incontinence in 14.1%, neurological condition progression in 12.5% and an adverse event in 1.6%. Discontinuation-free survival was significantly poorer in patients with spina bifida than in patients with multiple sclerosis or spinal cord injury (p = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS: More than half of the patients with neurogenic detrusor overactivity discontinued intradetrusor botulinum toxin A within the first 10 years after the initial injection. Patients with spina bifida are at high risk for discontinuation.

PURPOSE: To describe the epidemiologic characteristics of urethrocutaneous fistulae (UCF) in sacro-perineal pressure ulcer (SPPU) in neurourological patients and to assess outcomes after surgical urinary diversion. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Through the French-speaking Neurourology Study Group and Association of Urology network, a retrospective multicenter study in nine major urology and physical medicine and rehabilitation (PMR) units was conducted. All patients with SPPU associated with UCF between 2000 and 2016 were included. Data concerning: sociodemography, clinical, medical and biological comorbidities, neurological and urological history, pressure ulcer characteristics, and finally urinary diversion surgery were collected. Complications and SPPU healing/relapse were assessed. RESULTS: In all, 74 patients were included. The median age on diagnosis: 45.9 years (interquartile range [IQR], 38.7-53.4) and median follow-up: 15.1 months (IQR, 5.7-48.8). A psychiatric disorder was the most frequent comorbidity (44.6%). Only 59.5% and 50% had regular PMR and urologic follow-up, respectively. Seventy-one patients (95.9%) underwent urinary diversion surgery. Among those, relapse occurred in 15 (21.1%) at the end of the follow-up. The diversion was noncontinent in 85.9%. The major complications rate was 26.8%. A total of 30 late complications in 21 patients were reported. The most frequent was obstructive pyelonephritis (n = 9). All of the patients who underwent surgical diversion without cystectomy (n = 5) developed a pyocyst. Finally, the pressure ulcer healing rate when patients underwent both urinary diversion and pressure ulcer surgery was 74.4%. CONCLUSIONS: Our retrospective data suggest that UCF complicating SPPU is a rare and severe pathology. The combination of radical urinary diversion with cystectomy and pressure ulcer surgery should be performed as often as possible.

AIMS: To assess the impact of sacral neuromodulation (SNM) on pregnancy and vice-versa, by identifying women who had received SNM for lower-urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and had become pregnant. METHODS: A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out based on responses to an on-line questionnaire sent to practitioners listed on the InterStim enCaptureTM National Registry. Questions were related to pre-pregnancy health and SNM efficacy, deactivation of the device, its impact on LUTS, childbirth, the infant, its reactivation and postpartum effectiveness. RESULTS: Twenty-seven pregnancies were recorded among 21 women. Six women had had a pregnancy prior to implantation, two of whom had had a c-section. A total of 18.5% of women had the device disabled prior to conception. The others had their device disabled during the first trimester and did not reactivate it before delivery. Complications were reported in 25.9% of pregnancies: six women had urinary infections, including three of the four treated for chronic retention of urine (CRU), and 1 woman had pain at the stimulation site. There were 24 live births (including one premature birth and four c-sections), one spontaneous miscarriage and two voluntary interruptions of pregnancy. No neonatal disorders have been reported. Effectiveness of sacral neuromodulation decreased in 20% in postpartum. CONCLUSIONS: In 27 pregnancies established during SNM for LUTS, 18.5% of patients deactivated their case before pregnancy and the others switched it off during the first trimester. Three-quarters of women with CRU had urinary infection. No adverse effects on fetuses were found. SNM effectiveness deteriorated in 20% cases after childbirth.

AIMS: To compare the outcomes of the first intradetrusor injections of abobotulinum toxin 750 U and onabotulinum toxin 200 and 300 U in patients with neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO). METHODS: A retrospective case-control study was conducted including 211 NDO patients treated in three consecutives eras with onabotulinum toxin 300 U (2004-2006; 80 patients), abobotulinum toxin 750 U (2007-2011; 78 patients) or onabotulinum toxin 200 U (2011-2014; 53 patients). Urodynamic and clinical parameters were compared between groups. The primary endpoint was the rates of success defined as the combination of urgency, urinary incontinence, and detrusor overactivity resolution. RESULTS: When comparing abobotulinum toxin to onabotulinum toxin any doses (200 or 300 U; n = 133), success rates were similar (65.4% vs. 55.6%; P = 0.16). Patients treated with abobotulinum toxin 750 U had higher success rate (65.4% vs. 41.5%; P = 0.007) compared to those who received onabotulinum toxin 200 U. In contrast, there were similar success rates in abobotulinum toxin 750 U and onabotulinum toxin 300 U groups (65.4% vs. 65%; P = 0.91) but with a trend towards longer interval between the first and the second injection in the onabotulinum toxin 300 U group (12.4 vs. 9.3 months; P = 0.09). CONCLUSIONS: Intradetrusor injections of abobotulinum toxin 750 U for NDO provided better outcomes than injections of onabotulinum toxin 200 U. Success rates of abobotulinum toxin 750 U and onabotulinum toxin 300 U were similar but interval between injections tended to be longer with onabotulinum toxin 300 U. Neurourol.

AIMS: Urinary disorders (UD) secondary to multiple sclerosis (MS) are common and can be responsible for complications. Since 2004, we organized in our region their management through a neuro-urological activity and a care network that established and distributed an algorithm for screening and first line care. The objective was to assess the effects of this organization on the management of UD and its impact for patients. METHODS: Between January 2004 and December 2009, 328 patients were seen in neuro-urological consultation. The data of a group of 168 patients consulting during the deployment of our organization (before January 2007: group 1) were compared to those of 160 patients taken when the organization was well established (from January 2007: group 2). In parallel, the modification of the prescription rate of the first-line examination patients was evaluated. RESULTS: The two groups were significantly different concerning age, duration of MS, EDSS score (Group 1 vs. Group 2 respectively 51.6 ± 12.6 vs. 48 ± 11.8 years, P = 0.008; 19 ± 9.7 vs. 13.8 ± 10.5 years, P < 0.0001; 5.8 ±2.0 vs. 5.1 ± 2.1, P = 0.008). The occurrence of urinary complications in group 1 was more frequent than in group 2 (66.3% vs. 40%, P < 0.0001). The rate of first-line examinations rose from 1/16 patient seen in January 2006 to 9/12 patients in January 2008. CONCLUSION: The multidisciplinary management of UD in MS led to patients being cared for sooner in the evolution of MS, with fewer complications and to an improvement in the rate of prescription of first-line examinations.

PURPOSE: To assess clinical and urodynamic efficacy of the first and repeated intradetrusor injections of abobotulinum toxin A (Dysport(®), Ipsen(®), France) in patients with neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO) refractory to anticholinergic treatment. METHODS: A single-center retrospective study was conducted in 81 consecutive patients who had never received any botulinum toxin intradetrusor injections. They were treated with at least one 750 U intradetrusor injection of abobotulinum toxin A. All patients performed clean intermittent self-catheterization (CIC) before injections. Success was defined as a combination of no incontinence episode, a number of catheterization <8 reported in a 3-day bladder diary and the lack of detrusor overactivity. RESULTS: Six weeks after the first injection, the success rate was 64.2 %. The proportion of continent patients was 80.2 %, the mean number of CIC per 24 h reduced (-3.55, p < 0.0001) and the mean catheterization volume increased (+237.3 ml, p < 0.0001). Regarding urodynamics, mean maximum cystometric capacity and mean volume at the first uninhibited contraction increased (+132.7 ml, p < 0.0001 and +180 ml, p < 0.0001, respectively) and mean maximum bladder pressure decreased significantly (-21.5 cm H2O, p < 0.0001). Mean reinjection number was 3.9 and mean interval between reinjection was 8.8 ± 3 months. The clinical efficacy rate after each reinjection (up to fourteen) was at least 86.7 %. Out of 55 patients who underwent repeated injections, secondary resistance was noted in 2 (3.6 %). CONCLUSION: The results of the present study are in favor of a long-term safety and efficacy of abobotulinum toxin A 750 U for NDO.

AIMS: To assess the results of onabotulinum toxin detrusor injections when abobotulinum toxin detrusor injection failed. METHODS: Twenty-six patients, 15 women and 11 men, mean age 40.8 ± 12.7 years old, in whom a first injection of 750 U abobotulinum toxin in 20 sites failed in treating neurogenic detrusor overactivity, received onabotulinum toxin 300 U detrusor injections in 30 sites. Neurologic conditions were spinal cord injury in 14 cases, multiple sclerosis in nine, myelomeningocele in two and myelitis in one. Mean time between the two injections was 5.6 ± 1.4 months. Before and 6 weeks after each injection, patients carried out a 3-day bladder diary and had urodynamics. The success was defined as the combination of a clean intermittent self-catheterization number under 8 per 24 hr, urgency, urinary incontinence and detrusor overactivity relief. RESULTS: Out of 26 patients, the second injection was successful in 15 (57.7%). While the first injection of 750 U abobotulinum toxin had no impact at all, after 300 U onabotulinum toxin injection, the number of clean intermittent self-catheterization decreased significantly (11.3 ± 2.1 vs. 6.4 ± 1.9, P = 0.01), 17/26 (65.4%) patients achieved continence, urgency was relieved in 18/26 (69.2%) and detrusor overactivity in 15/26 (57.7%). CONCLUSIONS: In case of failure after a first detrusor injection of abobotulinum toxin, switching for onabotulinum toxin is efficient. Further investigations should be performed to assess whether the replacement of onabotulinum toxin by abobotulinum toxin provides the same results.

AIMS: Lower urinary tract dysfunctions (LUTD) are very common in Multiple Sclerosis (MS), have a significant social impact, while the organic impact is discussed. We studied urinary complications and their risk factors in our cohort of MS patients, in order to improve the management of LUTD in MS. METHODS: Between 2004 and 2009, all patients affected by MS and managed for LUTD were included in a retrospective study. We studied the epidemiological data (age, gender), the clinical data (duration of MS, EDSS score, progression of MS) and the paraclinical data (urinary creatinine clearance, urine culture, urinary tract ultrasonography and in some cases urodynamic assessment and cystography). We then identified the urinary complications and their risk factors. RESULTS: Three hundred twenty eight patients, mean age 49.9 ± 12.3 years, with a MS for 14.3 ± 10 years on average and with a median EDSS score equal to 6 (1-9), were managed for LUTD. One hundred seventy eight (54%) patients developed one or more urinary complications. We identified duration of MS greater than 8.5 years and an EDSS above 7 as risk factors. CONCLUSION: Urinary complications are common in symptomatic MS, these results imply screening and specialized care to limit the impact on the quality of life but also to prevent urinary complications.

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the efficacy of a second injection of the same toxin versus switching to a different botulinum toxin A after failure of a first detrusor injection in patients with neurogenic detrusor overactivity. METHODS: The charts of all patients who underwent detrusor injections of botulinum toxin A (either abobotulinumtoxinA or onabotulinumtoxinA) for the management of neurogenic detrusor overactivity at a single institution were retrospectively reviewed. Patients in whom a first detrusor injection had failed were included in the present study. They were managed by a second injection of the same toxin at the same dosage or by a new detrusor injection using a different botulinum toxin A. Success was defined as a resolution of urgency, urinary incontinence and detrusor overactivity in a patient self-catheterizing seven times or less per 24 h. RESULTS: A total of 58 patients were included for analysis. A toxin switch was carried out in 29 patients, whereas the other 29 patients received a reinjection of the same toxin at the same dose. The success rate was higher in patients who received a toxin switch (51.7% vs. 24.1%, P = 0.03). Patients treated with a switch from abobotulinumtoxinA to onabotulinumtoxinA and those treated with a switch from onabotulinumtoxinA to abobotulinumtoxinA had similar success rates (52.9% vs. 50%, P = 0.88). CONCLUSION: After failure of a first detrusor injection of botulinum toxin for neurogenic detrusor overactivity, a switch to a different toxin seems to be more effective than a second injection of the same toxin. The replacement of onabotulinumtoxin by abobotulinumtoxin or the reverse provides similar results.

INTRODUCTION: Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) and Joint Hypermobility syndrome (JHS) are still poorly understood, with a prevalence of 1/5000 for EDS and 1/500 for JHS. They are characterized by multisystem involvement. Urological involvement has been little studied. The aim was to carry out a review of the literature on the urological involvement of EDS and JHS. METHOD: A review of the literature was carried out using the following databases: Pubmed, Canadian Hospitals and EMBASE. Search terms were "Ehlers-Danlos" or "Joint Hypermobility" associated with "Urology", "Bladder", "Pelvic Organ Prolapse", "Urinary Retention", "Leak", "Leakage", "Urinary Incontinence", "Urinary Tract Infection" and "Urdodynamic", no filters were added. RESULTS: Seventy-three articles were included for a total of 259 found. The prevalence of urinary incontinence in EDS is estimated at 50-60%, and that of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) at 29-75%. Bladder diverticula are also frequently reported. For JHS, the prevalence of urinary incontinence is estimated between 40 and 73%, that of POP increased with 73% of stage greater than 2, g-JHS patients are almost 3 times more affected by prolapses (OR=2.37) which seem more severe. Patients with vesicoureteral reflux, most often severe, are more affected by joint hypermobility (OR=2.79). Few studies have been carried out on urological assessment and treatment modalities. CONCLUSION: EDS patients often have urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse or bladder diverticula. JHS patients frequently have urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse and vesicoureteral reflux.
RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Self-catheterisation (CIsC) is the gold standard treatment for bladder emptying disorders. A frequent complaint of patients undergoing CIsC is urinary tract infection (UTI). However, the epidemiology of UTIs remains poorly documented, particularly in the urological population. The aim of our study was to establish the epidemiology of infectious complications of CIsC. METHOD: A prospective, descriptive cohort study was carried out on a population educated in CIsC in a urology outpatient department of a university hospital. RESULTS: From January 1, 2019 to November 15, 2020, 411 patients completed a CIsC education session. Sixty patients could be included and integrated for analysis. The mean age was 58.6±16.3years. Among the patients, 68% had a neurological pathology. The most common bacteria found was Escherichia coli. The incidence of total UTIs within the first 6weeks was 18%. After a mean follow-up of 15±6.5months, the median number of UTIs was 0 [0; 4]. The mean interval between two infectious episodes was 9±6.7months. Only one patient met the criteria for recurrent UTI. Febrile UTIs affected 7% of patients. CONCLUSION: Self-catheterisation has a low infectious morbidity, occurring mainly in the first few weeks after its introduction.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate functional outcomes of surgery of spastic hip adductor muscles (obturator neurotomy with or without adductor longus tenotomy) in ambulatory and non-ambulatory patients, using preoperatively defined personalized goals. DESIGN: Retrospective observational descriptive study. PATIENTS: Twenty-three patients with adductor spasticity who underwent obturator neurotomy between May 2016 and May 2021 at the Clinique des Cèdres, Cornebarrieu, France, were included. METHODS: Postoperative functional results were evaluated in accordance with the Goal Attainment Scaling method. Patients were considered "responders" if their score was ≥ 0. Secondary outcomes included spasticity, strength, hip range of motion and change in ambulatory capacity. When data were available, a comparison of pre- and postoperative 3-dimensional instrumented gait analysis was also performed. RESULTS: Among the 23 patients only 3 were non-walkers. Seventeen/22 patients achieved their main goal and 14/23 patients achieved all their goals. Results were broadly similar for both walking goals (inter-knee contact, inter-feet contact, fluidity, walking perimeter, toe drag) and non-walking goals (intimacy, transfer, pain, posture, dressing). CONCLUSION: Surgery of spastic hip adductor muscles results in functional improvement in ambulation, hygiene, dressing and posture and can be offered to patients with troublesome adductor overactivity. The use of a motor nerve block is recommended to define relevant goals before the surgery.

Spastic equinus foot is a common deformity in neurologic patients who compromise walking ability. It is related to the imbalance between weak dorsiflexion and overactive plantar flexor muscles. To achieve the best functional results after surgical management, the challenge is to identify the relevant components involved in the deformity using several methods, namely, examination in the supine position, motor nerve blocks allowing transient anesthesia of suspected overactive muscles, and kinematic and electromyographic data collected during an instrumented 3D gait analysis. The procedure is not standardized; its use varies from one team to another. Access to gait analysis laboratories is limited, and some teams do not perform motor nerve blocks. When both examinations are available, instrumental data from the instrumented 3D gait analysis can be used to specify muscle targets for motor blocks, but data collected from both examinations are sometimes considered redundant. This retrospective cohort analysis compared examination in the supine position, temporary motor nerve blocks, and instrumented 3D gait analysis data in 40 adults after brain or spinal cord injuries. Clinical data collected before motor nerve block was not associated with instrumental data to assess calf muscle's overactivity and tibialis anterior function. Improvement of ankle dorsiflexion in the swing phase after tibial motor nerve block was associated with soleus spastic co-contraction during this phase corroborating its involvement in ankle dorsiflexion defects. This study showed the relevance of tibial motor nerve block to remove spastic calf dystonia and facilitate the assessment of calf contracture. It also underlined the need for complementary and specific analyses of the tibialis anterior abnormal activation pattern after motor nerve block to confirm or deny their pathological nature.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVES: Neurogenic bladder dysfunction has a negative impact on the patient's quality of life (QoL). Cystectomy with ileal conduit urinary diversion is a treatment option in patients in failure after conservative management. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of ileal conduit urinary diversion on the QoL of patients with neurogenic bladder dysfunction. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From March 2004 to November 2010, 48 patients (36 women and 12 men with a mean age of 50.6 ± 11.8 years) treated by cystectomy with ileal conduit urinary diversion for neurogenic bladder dysfunction, prospectively completed, before and after surgery, two self-administered QoL questionnaires. Neurological diseases were multiple sclerosis in 38 cases, spinal cord injury in 7 cases, and other neurological disease in 3 cases. Cystectomy was performed by laparoscopy in all patients. QoL was measured by using two self-administered questionnaires, one questionnaire specific for urinary disorders validated in neurological patients, Qualiveen®, and the generic SF36-v2® questionnaire. Data were compared by Student's t test. RESULTS: Comparison of the Qualiveen® self-administered questionnaire scores and indices before and after surgery showed that, after surgery, patients presented a significant reduction of limitations (0.57 ± 0.64 vs. 1.55 ± 1.35, P < 0.001), constraints (2.12 ± 0.83 vs. 2.64 ± 1.12, P = 0.046) scores and the SIUP index (1.29 ± 0.65 vs. 1.79 ± 0.95, P = 0.015). No significant change in SF36-v2® scores was observed postoperatively. CONCLUSIONS: Ileal conduit urinary diversion improves the urinary QoL of patients with neurogenic bladder dysfunction by decreasing limitations and constraints induced by urinary disorders, but has no impact on general QoL.

PURPOSE: The efficacy of sacral neuromodulation for treating refractory idiopathic lower urinary tract dysfunction is now well established. Nevertheless, results of this technique in neurological patients are still controversial. The aim of this retrospective study was to assess the results of sacral neuromodulation in neurogenic bladder dysfunction. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between 1998 and 2008, a percutaneous nerve evaluation or a two-stage technique was performed in 62 patients (mean age 50.5 ± 14.8 years) with neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction. Before and during the temporary stimulation, each patient had a urodynamic evaluation and performed a bladder diary. The test was considered positive if the clinical and urodynamic improvement was over 50% and if the symptoms reappeared after turning the stimulation off. RESULTS: Lower urinary tract dysfunction was detrusor overactivity in 34 cases and chronic urinary retention in 28 cases. A detrusor-sphincter dyssynergia (DSD) was associated in nine cases. Out of the 62 patients, 41 patients (66.1%) had more than 50% improvement on urodynamic evaluation and bladder diary and 37 were implanted. With a mean follow-up of 4.3 ± 3.7 years, results remained similar to the evaluation phase in 28 cases (75.7%), were partially altered in three cases (8.1%) and lost in six cases (16.2%). In these six cases, neuromodulation failed on average 12.0 ± 12.4 months after implantation. CONCLUSION: Sacral neuromodulation seems to constitute a serious therapeutic option for patients with neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction. However, its results depend on the type of the underlying neurologic disease and in particular, whether it may progress or not.

OBJECTIVE: To determine if antibiotic prophylaxis is required for intradetrusor botulinum toxin A (BoNT-A) injections. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This was a prospective non-randomized study. Inclusion criteria were adult patients with neurogenic detrusor overactivity who failed anticholinergic-based first-line treatment and had sterile urine culture 7 days before injections, a negative dipstick test on the day of the injections, and were performing clean intermittent self-catheterization. Injections were performed using a rigid cystoscope, under local anaesthetic. Patients received BoNT-A as either Botox® (Allergan Inc., Irvine, CA, USA) 300 U in 30 sites or Dysport® (Ipsen Ltd, Ipsen, Paris, France) 750 U in 20 sites. Urine culture was done 6 days and 6 weeks after the injections. If urinary tract infection (UTI) was suspected, a physician performed a complete physical examination. The primary outcome criterion was the occurrence of UTI during the first week after injections. RESULTS: In all, 42 patients (22 women, 20 men) with a mean (sd) age 45.3 (16.4) years were included. A symptomatic UTI occurred during the first week after the injections in three patients (7.1%). The urinary colonization rate was 31% and 26% at 6 days and 6 weeks after injection, respectively. The most common bacterium was Escherichia coli (62.5%). There were no differences between 20 and 30 injection sites or between the sexes. CONCLUSION: The rate of UTI after intradetrusor injections of BoNT-A was 7.1%. The most frequent bacterium involved was Escherichia coli. These results indicate that antibiotic prophylaxis for intradetrusor BoNT-A injections seems necessary.

Stroke is known to cause widespread activation and connectivity changes resulting in different levels of functional impairment. Recovery of motor functions is thought to rely mainly on reorganizations within the sensorimotor cortex, but increasing attention is being paid to other cerebral regions. To investigate the motor task-related functional connectivity (FC) of the ipsilesional premotor cortex (PMC) and its relation to residual motor output after stroke in a population of mostly poorly recoverd patients. Twenty-four stroke patients (23 right handed, mean age = 52.4 ± 12.6 years) with varying levels of motor deficits underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging while performing different motor tasks (passive mobilization, motor execution, and motor imagery of an extension movement of the unaffected hand [UH] or affected hand [AH]). For the different motor tasks, analyses of cerebral activation and task-related FC of the ipsilesional lateral sensorimotor network (SMN), and particularly the premotor cortex (PMC), were performed. Compared with UH data, FC of the ipsilesional lateral SMN during the passive or active motor tasks involving the AH was decreased with regions of the ipsilesional SMN and was increased with regions of the bilateral frontal and the ipsilesional posterior parietal cortices such as the precuneus (Pcu). During passive wrist mobilization, FC between the ipsilesional PMC and the contralesional SMN was negatively correlated with residual motor function, whereas that with nonmotor regions such as the bilateral Pcu and the contralesional dorsolateral prefrontal cortex was positively correlated with the residual motor function. Cross-modal FC of the ipsilesional PMC may reflect compensation strategies after stroke. The results emphasize the importance of the PMC and other nonmotor regions as prominent nodes involved in reorganization processes after a stroke.
