OVERNIGHT CATHETER DRAINAGE IN CHILDREN WITH POORLY COMPLIANT BLADDERS IMPROVES POST-OBSTRUCTIVE DIURESIS AND URINARY INCONTINENCE

In select children with poorly compliant bladders OCD reduces diuresis, reduces the frequency of UTIs, improves upper tract dilatation and improves continence. Overnight drainage in conjunction with daytime clean intermittent catheterization may prove to be an alternative to bladder augmentation in select children with poorly compliant bladders and early stages of renal compromise.
