Abstract

We studied 35 children with voiding dysfunction and detrusor-sphincter incoordination. More than 90 per cent of these patients had a history of repeat urinary tract infections, and medication and surgical treatment of the voiding dysfunction had failed. Of the patients 22 (63 per cent) experienced significant improvement or resolution of the voiding dysfunction when biofeedback was used to teach normal bladder sphincter coordination as part of the over-all treatment regimen. A review of our experience with these patients indicates that with proper patient selection an even higher rate of success may be possible.
