A Protocol for the Management of Neurogenic Bladder for Children in Developing Countries
Short Description:
The kidney is especially vulnerable to damage from pressure and recurrent infection within the first year of life. 10% of children with myelomeningocele (MM) will develop a dilatation deformity within the first year of life, and 35% by the 4th year of life (Ref 1). Furthermore, it has been reported that over 50% of MM children have a dangerous bladder (having an active sphincter with or without an active detrusor) (Ref.1). Therefore, a management protocol to protect renal function in these children is of vital importance. The milieu of a developing country necessitates an innovative approach to the management of these children, since practicality and compliance are essential to its success.
