Summary
Urinary retention is a prevalent and debilitating complication of spinal cord injuries (SCI) caused by neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction. It significantly impacts patient quality of life and poses long-term health risks, including recurrent urinary tract infections, urolithiasis, and progressive upper tract renal impairment. Despite considerable advancements in urologic care and surgery, managing urinary retention after SCI is still a challenge, with many current paradigms relying on clean intermittent catheterization.
The aim of this special issue is to raise awareness of cutting-edge urological research and its application to patients with spinal cord injuries. We encourage authors to submit original research, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and narrative reviews focusing on urologic care of patients with SCI. Specific topics of interest include sacral nerve stimulation, brain computer interface, and the application of artificial intelligence to urologic care of SCI.
