• The therapeutic results in eight patients with congenital myelomeningocele and neuromuscular dysfunction of the lower urinary tract are presented. Urodynamic assessment was performed preoperatively and post-operatively. Ileocystoplasty was performed on all of the patients. The postoperative results were good in seven out of eight patients in whom urodynamic assessment reveals a low-pressure reservoir which functions well. All of the patients employ clean intermittent self catheterization and, employing this treatment, they are continent with stable renal function.
