Description
Bladder dysfunction is common in neurologic disease and may be associated with significant secondary morbidity and mortality. Evaluation of neurogenic bladder patients is now taking place more frequently in an office setting. Flexible cystoscopy, videourodynamics, and officebased ultrasound imaging are commonly available in urologists’ offices. Emerging therapies, such as botulinum toxin injection, may reduce the need for surgical reconstruction and accelerate the shift of treatment of neurogenic bladder to the office setting. These complex patients, however, often have significant mobility issues that create barriers to care in the office setting. Optimal office design and setup as well as ancillary staff training are necessary to provide the most efficient and effective care of this patient population.
