Abstract
Urologic management strategies in patients with spinal cord injury are discussed herein, and the underlying pathophysiology and urodynamic principles are emphasized. Contemporary management of the spinal cord-injured bladder has allowed for near-elimination of renal failure as the primary cause of long-term morbidity in these patients; low urine storage, sterile urine, and effective emptying are imperative for good long-term results.
