Neurophysiology of the Micturition Cycle and the Neurogenic Bladder

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Kristi Borowski delivered a comprehensive presentation on the Neurophysiology of the Micturation Cycle and Neurogenic Bladder in the Oggs Urogynecology webinar series moderated by Dr. Padma Khandadai. Dr. Borowski discussed the intricate neural controls involved in bladder function, focusing on the efferent and afferent pathways, as well as the three control centers: cerebral, pontine, and sacral micturation centers. She emphasized the communication between these centers to allow for efficient and effective voiding. Dr. Borowski highlighted the importance of risk stratification in patients with neurogenic bladder, tailoring evaluations based on individual risk factors. Furthermore, she addressed common neurologic conditions such as stroke, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, and spinal cord injury, and their implications on bladder dysfunction and upper tract deterioration. Dr. Borowski also discussed considerations for treatments like Botox and sacral nerve stimulation in patients with neurogenic bladder. Overall, the webinar provided valuable insights into the management of neurogenic bladder in various neurologic conditions.
