EVALUATION OF THE SAFETY AND EFFICACY OF ADJUSTABLE CONTINENT THERAPY IN CHILDREN WITH SPINAL DYSRAPHISM. (BPUA)
EVALUATION OF THE SAFETY AND EFFICACY OF ADJUSTABLE CONTINENT THERAPY FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF NEUROGENIC INCONTINENCE IN CHILDREN WITH SPINAL DYSRAPHISM.
Urinary continence is still a difficult goal to achieve in neurogenic bladder patients. Conservative treatment of neurogenic urinary incontinence using clean intermittent catheterization in conjunction with pharmacological therapy, notably anticholinergic medication +/- adrenergic agents, may produce continence in a variable number of patients. In other patients, reconstructive surgery of the bladder and/or bladder neck is necessary to achieve urinary continence. Surgical treatment options to increase bladder outlet resistance in patients with neurogenic bladder include injection of bulking agents around the bladder neck, bladder neck reconstruction, fascial sling procedures and Artificial Urinary Sphincter.
The Adjustable Continence Therapy system (ACT) or periurethral adjustable balloons are a minimally invasive device consisting of two volume-adjustable balloons implanted periurethrally at the bladder neck as a method of augmenting titration for urethral coaptation. Adjustable means that such system would be adaptable to the individual clinical condition.
Originally conceived and developed as a treatment for female stress urinary incontinence, the technique has been then adapted and balloons were globally developed for the use in postprostatectomy incontinence. The published success rate in male after prostatectomy and in women was respectively 56 to 92% and 60 to 83%.
The investigators hypothesize that the use of ACT for treating incontinence in children secondary to neurogenic sphincter incontinence could compress the urethra or the bladder neck, acting as an extrinsic occlusive system increasing passive and dynamic urethral and bladder resistance.
Goal of the study:
To prospectively assess the efficacy and safety of periurethral adjustable balloons in the treatment of neurogenic incontinence in children with spinal dysraphism.
Material and methods :
A prospective study will be performed at La Timone Enfants hospital and La Nord hospital in Marseille, France. Boys and girls at least at school age (5 or 6 years) with neurogenic incontinence due to outlet issues (low detrusor leak point pressure and low stress leak point pressure) with spinal dysraphism will be recruited.
The ACT balloon is an implantable medical device developed and furnished for free by Uromedica (Irvine, CA, USA). The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia using the same implantation technique as published in adult population.
