A dedicated campaign for complete care of bladder and other complications has finally resulted in the establishment of a first-ever dedicated Neuro-urological Department in the Indian Spinal Injuries Centre (ISIC) in New Delhi.

According to Neuro-urologists at ISIC, there are a large number of cases where post-spinal cord injury (SCI) surgery patients were never referred to a neuro-urologist. Internal research found that patients, who visited ISIC from other hospitals after spinal surgery, 90% of them had never been referred to a neuro-urologist.

This pioneering development features comprehensive and dedicated neuro-urologists providing urological, sexual, and fertility care for those who are suffering from spinal cord injuries.

Neuro-urology, a specialised field focusing on the nervous control of the urinary system and the management of urological conditions caused by neurological disorders, such as spinal cord injuries, underscores ISIC's commitment to comprehensive, multidisciplinary care for patients with spinal cord injuries. With the establishment of the Neuro-urology Department, ISIC aims to advance the field of neuro-urology and enhance patient outcomes.

The Dedicated Neuro-urology Department will offer a range of services, from early care to advanced evaluation and management along with counseling, education, training, and distance support to the SCI patients and their caregivers even during the longer-term follow-up.
