Methods Retrospective analyses were conducted for 41 cases with neurogenic bladder at our hospital. All of them finished such preoperative examinations including ultrasound, voiding cystourethrogram （ VCUG ） and dynamic renal scintigraphy with diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid （DTPA）. And 34 cases completed urodynamic studies. Results According to different clinical symptoms and examination results, individual operation scheme was formulated for each child. Blood transfusion was required for 21 cases. Postoperative complications occurred in 7 cases. And 39 cases had a follow-up period of 3 months to 5 years. Most children and their parents were satisfactory with recovery. Conclusions The operation schemes for children with neurogenic bladder may be individualized according to clinical symptoms and examination results.
