Brief Summary: Bladder dysfunction is a major problem in patients with complete spinal cord lesions For patients presenting incontinence or risk for kidney two major conventional alternatives are possible conservative therapies muscarinic receptor antagonists vanilloids drugs and botulinum toxin in association with catheterization and surgical techniques intervening in the nervous and urinary system

Among these last alternatives the Brindley technique anterior sacral root stimulation with posterior rhizotomy is the only technique allowing for the restauration of bladder function continence and micturition The purpose of the study is to compare the Brindley technique with the first conventional approach in France from a medical and economical point of view
Detailed Description: Background In paraplegic and tetraplegic patients with suprasacral lesion bladder overactivity leads to incontinence and is frequently associated with detrusor-sphincter dyssynergia which is responsible for residual postvoiding high infectious risk and intravesical high pressure risk for kidney The Brindley technique allows to restore a voluntary voiding of the bladder and an effective continence Electrodes are fixed to anterior sacral roots in order to obtain micturition Posterior sacral root rhizotomy suppress detrusor and sphincter overactivity improves continence and thus protects bladder and kidney low pressure bladder filling Currently in France 100 new patients could benefit from this innovative technique among the 1000 patients with spinal cord injury

Objective To compare the costeffectiveness ratio of the Brindley technique approach to that of the reference group muscarinic receptor antagonists catheterization or reflex micturitionat one year in patient with neurogenic bladder

In this prospective comparative non-randomized multicenter study the eligible patients are included according to the following ratio 21 Brindley Reference The complete suprasacral spinal cord injured patients with an overactive neurogenic bladder incontinence andor risk of kidneybladder injury are the population studied The spinal cord injury must be clinically stable for at least 3 months

primary outcome Proportion of patients showing a complete voluntary including electrostimulation micturition after one year

Secondary outcome Bladder capacity cystometry costs incidence of urinary infections incontinence autonomic hyperreflexia AHR defecation quality of life lower limbs spasticity

Patient follow-up Visits must be planned at 1 3 6 9 and 12 months A classical clinical exam and a specific exam evaluation of AHR Ashworth and Penn Score at 6 and 12 months and the following complementary exams at 3 6 and 12 months urodynamic testing and intravenous urography retrograde ureterocystography and bladder echography at 12 months

Population size A total number of 99 patients must be enrolled to achieve the fixed goals 66 patients in the Brindley group and 33 patients in the Reference group
