Abstract

The primary aim of this study was to prospectively investigate whether there was an association between the duration of post-operative catheterisation and the incidence of bladder spasm in children following ureteric reimplantation surgery. A secondary aim was to investigate whether other surgical and post-operative factors had an effect on the incidence of bladder spasm.
