Retention

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Consultation in Neurourology

Abstract

  • In neurological patients, retention may result from neurogenic detrusor underactivity (NDU) or detrusor-sphincter dyssynergia (DSD).

  • Comprehensive history and physical examination must be completed by means of a bladder/catheterization diary, questionnaires, urinalysis, urine culture, uroflowmetry, post-void residual measurement, urinary tract ultrasound, and other optional investigations. Urodynamic study is the cornerstone in the diagnosis, allowing clinicians to distinguish between NDU and DSD.

  • Treatment of retention aims to protect renal function and should involve intermittent catheterization or suprapubic catheter in all patients with a high post-void residual. Indwelling catheterization should be avoided, as it may lead to multiple complications.

  • Management also includes sacral neuromodulation, intrasphincteric injections of botulinum toxin A, and surgery. Nevertheless, currently available supportive data are sparse.
