Treatment of neurogenic detrusor overactivity using botulinum A toxin is the first option for patients refractory to anticholinergic drugs.
This study is aimed on new way of administration – submucosal application.
Material and Methods: 10 patients with neurogenic detrusor overactivity after spinal cord injury in age between 19 and 39 years. Treatment
was performed by cystoscopic application 300 U of Botox®. The drug was administered submucosaly. Evaluation of urodynamic
parameters and voiding diary were done before and 12 weeks after treatment.
Results: Three months after treatment maximal cystometric capacity increased from 212.2±84.2 ml to 442.5±81.7 ml (p<0.05). Maximal
detrusor pressure during involuntary contraction decreased from 84.2±25.3 cmH2O to 53.1±18.4 cmH2O (p<0.05). Number of incontinence
episodes decreased from 13.8±5.1 na 3.2±0.9 (p<0.05). Continence rate was 90 %.
Conclusion: Submucosal application of botulinum A toxin in period 3 month after treatment improved all monitored urodynamic parametres
and reduced numbers of episodes of incontinence.
