Urinary control in cervical myelopathy: does it improve postsurgery? A Quality Outcomes Database study
Among the one-third of patients with CSM experiencing urinary dysfunction, nearly 78% achieve improved urinary function at the 2-year postoperative follow-up. Women are more likely to experience improvement in this function. Patients with and without improvements in urinary function are equally satisfied with their surgery and report similar outcomes on long-term follow-up.
