Abstract

Management of the neuropathic bowel is one of the major issues in the treatment of patients with severe spinal cord injury (SCI). Pulsed irrigation evacuation (PIE) has been evaluated in several small studies for the clearing of fecal impactions in patients with a neuropathic bowel. We evaluated our experience with 398 PIE procedures performed on inpatients and outpatients at our facility. It has proven to be both safe and effective in a wide variety of patients with this disorder, and is a useful addition to traditional methods in the management of the neuropathic bowel.
