This book provides an overview of the available treatment options and potential complications, a practical guide to the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of neurogenic bladders. The summarizing, synthesizing, and simplifying of vast amounts of knowledge make this book a precise, updated, well-documented, and authoritative reference on all aspects of neurogenic bladder.
