Principles of diagnosis and treatment of post-traumatic neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction

This article provides an overview of modern approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of post-traumatic neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction. Lower urinary tract dysfunction is observed in nearly all patients with traumatic brain or spinal cord injuries. It is noted that the type of urodynamic impairment does not always correspond to the level and severity of nervous system damage. The clinical diversity of neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction resulting from traumatic central nervous system injuries is highlighted, necessitating thorough evaluation, including urodynamic studies. The selection of treatment methods for patients is discussed in detail, depending on the type of neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction.
