Abstract | Spinal cord injury and neurogenic bowel dysfunction (NBD) are life-changing events for affected patients. The clinical manifestations of NBD vary depending on the level and severity of the spinal cord lesion. Managing patients with NBD can be complicated by comorbidities, such as immobility, bladder dysfunction, progressive neurologic decline, psychological factors, loss of independence, and social withdrawal, and ideally involves a multimodal, multidisciplinary approach. Evaluation and management should be individualized, depending on the residual neurologic capabilities of the patient and their predominant gastrointestinal symptoms, and commonly involves lifestyle modifications, physical therapy, laxative medications, and surgical interventions. |
