Transverse spinal cord lesions entail severe secondary pathological alterations to the urinary tract, reducing longevity and quality of life. It is, therefore, urgently recommended to take a coherent approach to such patients throughout the GDR and to use for urine voiding intermittent catheterisation right from Phase I of rehabilitation. A comparison between patients admitted for treatment in 1980, on the one hand, and those hospitalised 1985, on the other, revealed an opposite trend. Transfer of patients to Phase II of rehabilitation is thus rendered difficult, and the span of rehabilitation must be substantively extended.
横贯性脊髓损伤会导致泌尿系统严重的继发性病理改变，缩短寿命并降低生活质量。因此，迫切建议在民主德国全境针对此类患者采取连贯一致的治疗方法，并从康复第一阶段就开始使用间歇性导尿术进行排尿。一方面，对1980年入院治疗的患者与另一方面1985年住院的患者进行比较，发现了相反的趋势。这就使得患者向康复第二阶段的过渡变得困难，并且康复期必须大幅延长。
