Botox injections into the bladder

A short video demonstration injections of diluted Botulinum toxin "Botox"into the bladder.

The operation takes approximately 10 minutes and is done as a day-case procedure. It is usually well tolerated under local anaesthesia, but for some women a general anaesthetic may be the preferred option. A very fine needle is inserted into the bladder through a cystoscope , and the diluted Botulinum toxin is then injected into 15-20 sites in the bladder wall.

This treatment is suitable for women with severe urgency, frequency, and urge-incontinence that is unresponsive to other treatment, such as bladder retraining and medications.
