Mp48-10 determinants of Recurrent Urinary Tract Infection in Spinal Cord Injury Patients

Abstract

require a penile prosthesis. Surgical Complications: two patients (12.5%) showed postoperative neurapraxia, which resolved spontaneously after 12 months (Clavien I), and two other patients (12.5%) suffered extrusion of the receiver block (Clavien IIIb) We observed malfunction/damage of the external hardware in 10pt (62.5%), mostly related to operator misuse.CONCLUSIONS: Success of SARS was 87.5 % for micturition, 94% for defecation and 33% for intercourse. The main limitations were observed in caregiver-dependent quadriplegics due to operator misuse, resulting in damage of the external hardware or symptomatic UTIs. Loss of reflex erections was an undesired side effect in sexually active patients. Although SARS can elicit erections by stimulation, the system may not be reliable enough for intercourse. According to this, we believe the best candidate for SARS is an adult-able independent paraplegic female and also male paraplegics not concerned with loss of reflex erections.

Urinary tract infections and intermittent catheterization among patients with spinal cord injury in Chinese community

“…Neither Waites et al 41 nor Edokpolo et al 40 found sex to be a predictor. However, differences in the incidence of UTI and RUTI between males and females in SCI patients undergoing CIC have been examined and found to be significantly higher in females 42 , 43 . Conversely, males have been reported to be a significant predictor of febrile UTI in individuals with SCI performing CIC 44 .…”
