Botulinum Toxin Type A Injection After Failure of Augmentation Enterocystoplasty Performed for Neurogenic Detrusor Overactivity: Preliminary Results of a Salvage Strategy. The ENTEROTOX Study.

To evaluate the clinical efficacy, urodynamic effect and safety of Botulinum Toxin A (BTXA) injections after failure of augmentation enterocystoplasty (AE) performed for neurogenic detrusor overactivity. We performed a multicenter retrospective study that included patients who had AE and at least one injection of BTXA after AE in 15 GENULF (French Speaking Neuro-Urology Study Group) centers. Clinical and urodynamic data were collected from medical files according to a standardized questionnaire and colligated in an anonymous database. Thirty-three patients with an injection of BTXA after AC in 9 out of 15 centers were included. Mean age at the time of AE was 24 ± 15 years. Overall efficacy (defined by clinical efficacy associated with a request by the patient for reinjection) was observed in 58% of the patients. Mean maximum cystomanometric capacity increased by 28% (333 ± 145 vs 426 ± 131 mL; P = .007) and maximum detrusor pressure (P In patients with failure after AE performed for neurogenic detrusor overactivity, injection of BTXA in the enlarged bladder was effective in over half of the cases with low morbidity. If this therapeutic approach were confirmed, it could be proposed as an alternative to AE surgical revision.
