Another area of clinical investigation is the neuropathic bladder associated with spina bifida. Our doctors assist in the care of a large population of children with this condition through the Texas Scottish Rite Hospital, located a short distance from Children's Medical Center. We provide comprehensive urodynamic evaluation, medical management and surgical reconstruction, and are currently creating a database to identify important health influences. For example, we are now reviewing our experience with various conduits as an alternative route to the urethra for intermittent catheterization, having found this procedure greatly facilitates self-care by children who depend upon intermittent catheterization to empty the bladder.
