Description
Diagnose, treat, and help prevent genitourinary disorders arising from neurologic disease or injury, focusing on lower urinary tract and pelvic floor dysfunction, preservation of renal function, and continence through medical, minimally invasive, and reconstructive urologic care.
- • Teach or train medical and clinical staff in neurourology protocols and patient education.
- • Document or review patients' neurologic and urologic histories, bladder diaries, and prior studies.
- • Provide neurourology consultation to physicians and rehabilitation teams.
- • Refer patients to specialists, such as neurology, PM&R, or colorectal surgery, when needs exceed scope.
- • Direct the work of nurses, residents, or therapists to deliver bladder and continence care plans.
- • Perform and interpret urodynamics, video-urodynamics, uroflowmetry, and pelvic floor EMG.
- • Use cystoscopy and imaging to evaluate neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction and complications.
- • Develop individualized bladder management programs, including timed voiding, pelvic floor therapy, and clean intermittent catheterization.
- • Prescribe and manage medications such as antimuscarinics, beta-3 agonists, alpha-blockers, or antibiotics for LUT symptoms and UTIs.
- • Perform intradetrusor botulinum toxin injections for neurogenic detrusor overactivity.
- • Provide neuromodulation therapies such as sacral neuromodulation or posterior tibial nerve stimulation.
- • Place and manage suprapubic tubes, urethral catheters, and continent catheterizable channels.
- • Perform reconstructive or continence surgeries, including bladder augmentation, sling placement, artificial urinary sphincter implantation, or sphincterotomy.
- • Monitor and protect renal and upper tract function with labs and renal ultrasound, adjusting care to prevent damage.
- • Address neurogenic sexual dysfunction and fertility concerns, offering medical and device-based therapies.
