I do an education presentation for a local non-profit organization which many of our rehab patients belong. Traveling partner and I discuss the favorite rehab nurse topic: bowel and bladder issues.
We did a thorough research on the internet and in journals, etc., since the folks we work with publish stuff.
But, I never realized until today when I attended a presentation with a urologist that we forgot a surgical intervention: bladder augmentation. (And yes, it does make the bladder bigger.) I guess one of these days I may actually meet a patient who's had this done. So far, not yet.
Finally, they mentioned this device. I got flashbacks to nursing school when I had to do a soap suds enema (without a balloon, which would have been nice).
Stay tuned...
