The girl in the photo with the big smile on her face is Amanda, who, after the surgery to solve her urinary incontinence problem, said, “The bladder controller gave me a second life! . Xu Ruisheng, Department of Orthopedics, Wuxi Third People’s Hospital Amanda had been paralyzed for 8 years after her injury and was plagued by severe urinary incontinence. Her bladder was no longer able to store urine and often leaked, and every now and then she would find the cushion she was sitting on was wet again for a while, which made her extremely frustrated. At the same time, her sleep was constantly interrupted by the need to urinate more than three times a night, and she never knew what it was like to sleep well again. The urinary tract infection problems brought about by the catheter insertion and the endless taking of antibiotics also entered a vicious cycle. Because of the bladder and urinary problems, the whole life was disrupted. Fortunately, she recently had a successful bladder controller implant, relieving her of the pain that had plagued her for 8 years. After the surgery, she was able to enjoy a full night’s sleep and the sweetness of sleeping again, and for the first time in 8 years, she heard the sound of water gurgling in the bathroom when she urinated, a pleasure that only someone who had lost it could experience. This stimulator simultaneously solved the problem of fecal incontinence and promoted the recovery of her gastrointestinal function. The first bladder controller surgery in China was also performed on a female patient, who, like Amanda, was able to improve her physical and mental health after the surgery, and successfully conceived and gave birth to a child one year after the surgery, and is now enjoying her family. “The Bladder Controller is a revolution and a milestone in the treatment of urinary incontinence in paralyzed patients, and although it only restores a small function, the improvement in the physical and mental health of the patient is enormous. In fact, every paralyzed patient should be given the opportunity to find out if they are suitable for this amazing bladder controller and see if they can return to their original life of grace through surgery, just like Amanda. I have been involved in this field for 10 years since I was a doctoral student, and I hope that my persistence and efforts can help them, and that more paraplegics in China can regain their seemingly normal happiness and dignity of life, just like Amanda. The pleasure is mine! ——Written on February 15, 2009, in the Chinese version of the New Year’s greeting: “Let the powerless be strong, let the pessimists move forward”, if our efforts in this area can give a little strength and help to the paralyzed patients suffering from urinary incontinence, the pleasure is mine!
