Abstract
The majority of patients who develop a neuropathic bladder will have started with a normal bladder. There are of course a few exceptions such as congenital abnormalities. Thus, our aim should be to protect the bladder from the ill effects of dysfunction. To do this, we need to understand the patient and the bladder. There must be the availability of urodynamics, and the test must be used freely. Symptoms often do not tell the whole story. The bladder should be maintained in as near a normal a state as possible, i.e., with low-pressure storage, continence, and complete emptying, the patient should be both content and safe.
