Published in: Current urology reports (2024)
The most recent literature has focused primarily on the use of EI of bulking agents at the bladder neck for the treatment of urinary incontinence. Other uses of EI of bulking agents has focused on the treatment of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) in patients with anatomic abnormalities or treatment of incontinence catheterizable channels. The development of advanced techniques for endoscopic injection along with safe, stable bulking agents has allowed for the treatment of a variety of urologic conditions. This minimally invasive procedure offers an additional tool for the pediatric urologist's armamentarium in the treatment of urinary incontinence and VUR.
