Abstract

Sphincter dysfunction is an almost constant pathological process in neurourology. No oral pharmacological treatment is available to treat stress urinary incontinence secondary to sphincter incompetence or to relieve urethral hypertonia usually induced by detrusor-sphincter dyssynergia. The few treatments that induce sphincter relaxation are not sufficient to justify a routine therapeutic indication.
