Biomaterials in Urology II: future usage and management.

abstract：:Recently, the use of botulinum toxin A has been extended to patients with non-neurogenic urologic disorders such as refractory idiopathic overactive bladder. We describe a modification of our original injection technique that allows one to deliver botulinum toxin into the bladder quickly and efficiently in an office s...
