Abstract

A comparative assessment of (i) urinary continence status, (ii) quality of life, and (iii) sexuality in spinal cord injury patients prior to, and during intermittent catheterization with adjunctive intravesical oxybutynin therapy (Cystin: manufactured by Leiras Oy. Helsinki, Finland). A hospital, and community-based study of selected adult, male, spinal cord injury patients registered with the Regional Spinal Injuries Centre, Southport. Seven patients (mean age: 44.3 years) suffering from neuropathic bladder due to suprasacral spinal cord lesion of traumatic aetiology, and well settled in the community in the north-west of England were the subjects of this study. Before commencing the intermittent catheterization regime, these patients were on penile sheath drainage. Intermittent urethral catheterization was performed with sterile, single-use Nelaton catheters 5-6 times a day with intravesical instillation of oxybutynin 5 mg in 30 ml. 1-3 times a day for periods ranging from 14 to 30 months. Assessment of urinary continence, sexuality, and quality of life was made (i) at the outset before any intervention, (ii) during intermittent catheterization regime, and (iii) when the patients were using the oxybutynin bladder instillation...Continue Reading
