Only symptomatic pts with pain or discomfort, inability to urinate, urinary tract infection or hydronephrosis on renal ultrasound were advised to start CIC. RESULTS: 44 pts with IOAB were injected. The Figure illustrates the number of BTX injections that pts have received with the PVR at each measured time point. 5 Pts (11%) needed to start CIC. Two pts who started CIC after the 1st BTX injection were able to stop by 16wks. These two pts subsequently withdrew from the study. The other 3 pts started CIC respectively after the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th BTX injection. None of these pts required CIC on subsequent injections. Two pts stop CIC before 12wks and the other at 20wks. Hydronephrosis was never found in these pts. 4/5 Pts who needed CIC received BTX 150 U and 1/5 received a 100 U. CONCLUSIONS: BTX injection increases PVR within 2 weeks. Not all patients with PVR>200ml will need to start CIC if there is no hydronephrosis, no urinary tract infection, and no discomfort, pain or inability to urinate. The need for CIC after the initial BTX injection does not necessarily imply that this therapy will be needed in subsequent injections. Figure. PVR in 6 BTX Repeated Injections

All patients underwent pre-treatment urodynamics to determine detrusor overactivity before intra-detrusor injections. IDO patients received 200u whereas NDO patients 300u. Urogenital Distress Inventory (UDI 6) and Incontinence Impact Questionnaire (IIQ 7) were completed before each treatment and 4 weeks after treatment as a part of the study.

1660 PERIODIC INTRA-DETRUSOR INJECTIONS OF BOTULINUM NEUROTOXIN TYPE-A IN PATIENTS WITH INTRACTABLE DETRUSOR OVERACTIVITY Shahid Khan*, Apostolos Apostolidis, Gwen Gonzales, Sohier Elneil, Clare J Fowler, Prokar Dasgupta. London, United Kingdom. INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE: 184 patients with intractable detrusor overactivity of neurogenic (NDO) and idiopathic (IDO) origin have been treated with intra-detrusor botulinum neurotoxin type-A under an open labelled programme. The objectives of this study are to show the changes in clinical and urodynamic parameters before and after at least 4 consecutive periodic injections. METHODS: 17 patients with intractable detrusor overactivity both idiopathic as well as neurogenic have undergone at least 4 consecutive periodic injections of intra-detrusor injections of botulinum
EFFECT OF REPEATED INTRADETRUSOR INJECTIONS OF BOTULINUM-A TOXIN ON BLADDER CAPACITY, DETRUSOR PRESSURE AND COMPLIANCE FOR TREATING PATIENTS WITH IDIOPATHIC DETRUSOR OVERACTIVITY Daniel M Schmid*, Sharmistha G Roy-Guggenbuehl, Tullio Sulser, Brigitte Schurch. Zurich, Switzerland. INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE: Nonneurogenic urinary incontinence is partially due to OAB, which refers to the symptom complex of frequency, urgency and nocturia.
