Attention has been drawn to the complex problem of the neurogenic bladder by the increased incidence of spinal cord trauma in civilian and war casualties. Improvement in the immediate care of the injuries has resulted in a greater initial salvage rate. The increased population of patients with neurogenic bladders suggests a need for re-evaluating the fundamental aspects of this problem. The physiology and pathology of the normal and neurogenic bladder have been studied. The utilization of substitute bladders in these cases has not been fully explored.
