Bladder neck dysfunction (BND) is a pathophysiology associated with voiding dysfunction in patients with neurogenic or non-neurogenic voiding dysfunction. Botulinum toxin A (BoNT-A) injection is a minimally invasive alternative for treating bladder outlet dysfunction; however, its efficacy for BND has not been well established. In this retrospective study, 41 patients with videourodynamic study-confirmed BND who failed medical therapy received a transurethral bladder neck injection of 100-U BoNT-A. Treatment outcomes were assessed using the Global Response Assessment. After BoNT-A injection, the patients were followed up and subsequent urological management was recorded. At 6 months, 65.9% of the patients reported satisfactory outcomes (26.8% successful and 39.0% improved). Patients with non-neurogenic BND had the highest satisfaction rate, higher than those with neurogenic BND (NBND) with and without detrusor sphincter dyssynergia (DSD). Among patients without detrusor acontractility (DA), a higher bladder outlet obstruction index predicted treatment failure. Patients with pure BND confirmed by urodynamics may benefit more from BoNT-A injections, whereas those with high baseline voiding detrusor pressure or spinal cord injury with detrusor sphincter dyssynergia may have less favorable results. Bladder neck BoNT-A injections for treating BND-associated voiding dysfunction did not achieve very successful outcomes. Only 26.8% of the patients had successful treatment outcomes, while 39.0% had improved outcomes and 34.1% failed the treatment.
膀胱颈功能障碍(BND)是一种与神经源性或非神经源性排尿功能障碍患者排尿功能障碍相关的病理生理学状态。肉毒杆菌毒素A(BoNT-A)注射是治疗膀胱出口功能障碍的一种微创替代方法;然而,其对BND的疗效尚未得到充分证实。在这项回顾性研究中,41例经视频尿动力学检查确诊为BND且药物治疗无效的患者接受了经尿道膀胱颈100单位BoNT-A注射。使用全球反应评估来评估治疗结果。BoNT-A注射后,对患者进行随访并记录随后的泌尿外科治疗情况。在6个月时,65.9%的患者报告结果满意(26.8%成功,39.0%改善)。非神经源性BND患者的满意度最高,高于有和没有逼尿肌括约肌协同失调(DSD)的神经源性BND(NBND)患者。在没有逼尿肌无收缩(DA)的患者中,较高的膀胱出口梗阻指数预示治疗失败。经尿动力学证实为单纯BND的患者可能从BoNT-A注射中获益更多,而那些基线排尿逼尿肌压力高或有逼尿肌括约肌协同失调的脊髓损伤患者可能效果较差。膀胱颈BoNT-A注射治疗与BND相关的排尿功能障碍并未取得非常成功的结果。只有26.8%的患者治疗成功,39.0%的患者病情改善,34.1%的患者治疗失败。
