Complete and incomplete spinal cord injuries affect between 250,000 and 500,000 people on an annual basis worldwide. In addition to sensory and motor dysfunction, spinal cord injury patients also suffer from associated conditions such as neurogenic bowel and bladder dysfunction. The degree of dysfunction varies on the level, degree, and type of spinal cord injury that occurs. In addition to the acute surgical treatment of these patients, spine surgeons should understand how to manage neurogenic bowel and bladder care on both a short- and long-term basis to minimize the risk for complications and optimize potential for rehabilitation.
每年全球有 25 万至 50 万人患有完全性和不完全性脊髓损伤。除了感觉和运动功能障碍外，脊髓损伤患者还患有神经源性肠和膀胱功能障碍等相关疾病。功能障碍的程度取决于发生的脊髓损伤的水平、程度和类型。除了对这些患者进行急性手术治疗外，脊柱外科医生还应了解如何在短期和长期内管理神经源性肠和膀胱护理，以最大程度地降低并发症风险并优化康复潜力。
