[Electrostimulation of the neurogenic bladder (author's transl)].

Six children with neurogenic disorders of micturition are stimulated by Katona's method. The evaluation of the clinical and cystometric results carried out every 4 weeks shows the contradictoriness of this method. The clinical results show an unequivocal improvement in micturition behavior, whereas checking the objective cystomanometric results only suggests an increasing tonicity of the detrusor and suppression of the uninhibited detrusor contractions. The urgency for carrying out cystomanometric measurements during Katona's electrostimulation therapy is pointed out.
