This is a report of a special method of a temporary intravesical electrostimulation of the bladder for the treatment of urinary incontinence of spina bifida children. The technique with presentation of apparatus and catheter is described in details. The criterias for the selection of the patients are explained, the most important of which is the response of the detrusor muscle during the stimulation recorded by uromanometry. 28 spina bifida-children were treated. There is success in 70% of the patients, if the criteria are fulfilled.
