Abstract

Many tremendous advances in the management of neurovesical dysfunction have taken place over the past two decades. Gone are the days of severe hydronephrosis, renal failure, and even death from neurogenic urinary dysfunction. Only rarely do we now see children who present with significant urinary tract changes. The social debilitation from life-long incontinence or incontinent abdominal wall urinary stomas should also only be a memory. Combining these advances with newer surgical approaches to fecal incontinence should now allow these children to be free of diapers. The advances made in medical and surgical approaches to neurogenic bladders have greatly changed overall pediatric urologie care, allowing reconstruction of even the most significant anatomic congenital anomalies.
