Abstract

Urinary incontinence in female subjects with bladder instability secondary to neurogenic bladder disease is difficult to manage. Many times pharmacologic manipulation and the standard anti-incontinence surgical procedures are unsuccessful. We have found that the urethral occlusive technique using polytetrafluoroethylene (Teflon) paste is highly effective in maintaining continence. We describe 6 patients who achieved complete urinary control and empty the bladder with the use of intermittent catheterization. All of the patients are extremely satisfied with the end results of urinary continence and have accepted self-catheterization well.
