  1. Treatment of Voiding Dysfunction by Urethral Injection of Botulinum A toxin Hann-Chorng Kuo Department of Urology Buddhist Tzu Chi General Hospital

  2. Voiding Dysfunction • Neurogenic detrusor external sphincter dyssynergia • Dysfunctional voiding due to spastic urethral sphincter • Poor relaxation of sphincter & low detrusor contractility • Detrusor underactivity or Detrusor failure • Detrusor areflexia

  3. Therapeutic modalities for voiding dysfunction • Medication: alpha-blocker, skeletal muscle relaxants, nitric oxide donors • Behavioral therapy: biofeedback, electrical stimulation, neuromodulation • Surgery: transurethral sphincterotomy, TUI-bladder neck, urethral stent • Clean intermittent catheterization • Indwelling Foley catheter or cystostomy

  4. Background of Botulinum A toxin • Botulinum A toxin is an inhibitor of acetylcholine release at the presynaptic neuromuscular junction • Inhibition of acetylcholine release results in regional decreased muscle contractility at the injection site • This chemical devervation is a reversible process, axons resprout in about 3-6 months

  5. Mechanism of Botulinum A Toxin in Neuromuscular Junction

  6. Clinical usefulness of Botulinum A toxin • Focal dystonia, blepharospasm (Scott et al 1985) • Dysphonia (Whurr et al 1993) • Limb spasticity ( Hesse et al 1994) • Dysphagia (Schneider, et al 1994) • No severe adverse effects ever reported

  7. Clinical application of botulinum A toxin in voiding dysfunction Botulinum A toxin 20-80 U successfully treated 11 SCI & DESD (Dykstra et al 1988) • In 21 of 24 SCI & DESD, BTX-A toxin 100 U reduced residual urine and MUCP (Schurch et al 1996) • Transperineal injection of BTX-A in 6 SCI improved voiding function (Schurch et al 1997)

  8. Clinical application of botulinum A toxin in voiding dysfunction Relief of voiding dysfunction due to prostatitis in 4 men (Maria et al 1998) • Improved bladder capacity and decreased maximal detrusor pressure after BTX-A in 5 SCI (Gallien et al 1998) • Effective in treating DESD (12), pelvic floor spasticity (8), and acontractile detrusor (1) by BTX-A 80-100 IU (Michael et al 2001)

  9. Improved Voiding Efficiency • Increased detrusor contractility in detrusor underactivity – nerve stimulation, increased nerve density • Reduced urethral resistance – urethral smooth muscles and striated muscles • Recovery of detrusor contractility in idiopathic detrusor acontractility

  10. Patients suitable for Botulinum A toxin Treatment • Patients with voiding dysfunction who were refractory to medication or behavioral therapy • Chronic SCI & DESD with low empty efficiency • Cauda equina lesion and difficult urination • Peripheral neuropathy and difficult urination • Dysfunctional voiding • Idiopathic detrusor underactivity • Poor relaxation of urethral sphincter

  11. Enrolled Patients Criteria • Patient is unable to void spontaneously, indwelling catheter, or on CISC • Difficult urination with low Qmax and large residual urine • Moderate to severe obstructive IPSS (>10 points) • High voiding pressure (>50 cm water) & low flow rate (Qmax <10ml/s) during urodynamic study • Poor relaxation or hyperactivity of sphincter EMG activity during pressure flow study

  12. Pretreatment evaluation • Conventional treatment at least 3 months • Cystoscopy to exclude anatomical BOO • Postvoid residual urine volume • Videourodynamic study: voiding pressure, abdominal leak point pressure, Qmax, sphincteric EMG activity, urethral patency in VCUG • Obstructive score in IPSS

  13. Obstructive symptom scoresand Quality of life index (IPSS) • Residual urine sensation or retention 0-5 • Intermittency 0-5 • Small caliber of urine or retention 0-5 • Straining to void 0-5 • Quality of life index 0-6 • Indwelling Foley catheter or on CISC

  14. Botulinum A toxin

  15. Botulinum A toxin therapy • 100 units (1vial) is diluted to 2ml • 50-100 units are used, 4 equivalent aliquot are injected via cystoscopy guide in men and around the urethra in women • Complete cardiorespiratory monitoring in OR • Foley catheter is indwelled for 1 day • Report adverse effect (AD, hematuria, UTI)

  16. Evaluation of Treatment Outcome • Subjectively improved in voiding efficiency • Increase in voided volume • Reduction of residual urine volume • Decrease of voiding pressure (detrusor or abdominal pressure) • Decrease in frequency of catheterization • Removal of indwelled Foley catheter

  22. Clinical Results after Botulinum A toxin Urethral injection • 50 –100 units of botulinum A toxin injected to urethral striated muscles • Effect appears 2-3 days after injection • Detrusor pressure or abdominal leak point pressure decreased and facilitate spontaneous voiding • Minimal adverse effect was noted

  23. Materials & Methods • A total of 103 patients received urethral Botox injection • 48 men and 55 women • Aged 16 to 94, mean 54 years old • 45 patients had urinary retention • 48 patients received 50U, 55 patients received 100U

  24. Diseases and Enrolled Patients

  25. Outcome assessment • Excellent: (1) spontaneous voiding by reflex or abdominal straining in urinary retention patients; (2) improvement in voiding pressure (Pabd or Pdet), Qmax, and residual urine by >25% • Improved: improvement in voiding pressure, Qmax, and residual urine but <25%, patient is satisfactory to therapeutic effect • Failed: subjectively no improvement, persistent urinary retention, or persistent large residual urine
