Bladder Augmentation was designed for those born with Spina Bifida. It worked so well for so many that it became an accepted procedure for some with spinal cord injuries. If a Spina Bifida Support Group in your area and you will find some doctors that have performed hundreds of this procedures. Best Wishes In a message dated 3/1/2009 7:15:39 P.M.

For those who had a Bladder Augmentation. My Uro wants me to get one, but I have a few questions. How long can you go without cathing? How many cc’s can it hold? Can you still use a Foley Balloon cath and leave it in for a month? I now use a SP Cath, because I hated intermittent cathing. But, I think my bladder is getting irritated from the SP cath. Whenever I breath deep or touch my abdomen area, My abdomen spasms very bad. And sometimes even when the cath is in fine and draining fine, my abdomen hurts real bad. Just changing it helps right away. No uti, no stones, no chest problems. I was up all night a few times this week. I’d start a light sweat, then take a deep breath and my abdomen would spasm real hard, then jiggle for 10 minutes with little spasms. My whole body is tight.
