- 1. Study Notes Neurogenic Bowel & Bladder Dr Mrinal Joshi Director, Rehabilitation Research Centre Professor & Unit Head, Dept. of PMR SMS Medical College & Associated Hospitals Jaipur
- 2. Neurogenic Bowel • Dysfunction from trauma & disease within the spinal cord • Mainly affects the colorectum & the anal canal • Peristalsis & secretion primarily controlled by enteric nervous system • Submucosa (Meissner’s plexus) & gut muscle (Auerbach’s plexus) • Vagus innervates below the splenic flexure of colon • Distal colon parasympathetic from S2-S4 • Sympathetic to colon & rectum from T9-T12 • Parasympathetic enhances secretion & peristalsis; relaxing sphincter • Sympathetics reduce secretion & peristalsis; contracting sphincters
- 3. Anal canal • Anal canal surrounded by striated ext. & smooth internal sphincters • Upper part surrounded by puborectalis muscle • Int. sphincter under reflex control of enteric & sacral nerves • Ext. sphincter under voluntary control of pudendal S3-5 • Puborectalis creates an anorectal angle • Prohibiting the content in the anal canal
- 4. Defecation • Preceded by mass movement of stool • Rectal wall stretch initiates defecation reflex • Stimulates contraction of rectal wall through sacral reflex arc • Rectoanal inhibitory reflex (RAIR) causes relaxation of int. sphincter • Mediated by parasympathetics • Voluntary contraction of ext. sphincter inhibits
- 5. Continence depends on Consistency of stools Colorectal transit time Rectal tone Anorectal sensibility Tone of puborectalis muscle Voluntary contraction of ext. anal sphincter
- 6. Neurogenic bowel Sympa. & Parasymp. act through stimulation or inhibition No direct innervation of smooth muscles Parasymp. Innervation through vagus nerve To stomach, small intestine & proximal colon unaffected by SCI No UMN or LMN gut Lesions above S2 have increased tone & contractility of rectum Causing reflex defecation Lesions at or below S2 have reduced tone & contractility Causing faecal impaction & incontinence
- 7. SCI Acute phase gut is hypotonic & unresponsive to stimulus Severely prolonged colonic transit time during first week after injury Pattern of prolonged transit time varies in individuals Reflexic NBD have prolonged transit time in colon but not in rectum Long transit time in descending colon & rectosigmoid in areflexic Emptying of rectosigmoid is significantly delayed in both
- 8. SCI defecatory disorders Impaired rectal emptying • Poor rectal muscle propulsion • Increased resistance to evacuation Obstructed defecation • High anal resting pressure • Incomplete relaxation • Dyssynergia – pelvic floor & external sphincter Decreased / absent anal sensations & voluntary contraction
- 9. NBD Reflexic NBD Increased tone and contractility of rectum Areflexic NBD Poor emptying of rectum Hypotonic rectum Poor sphincter function Incontinence & impaction Commonly reported symptoms Constipation Fecal incontinence Need for digital evacuation Abdominal discomfort Hemorrhoids
- 10. Assessment • International Standard for Neurological Classification for SCI • Sacral reflexes & pelvic floor tone • Bristol stool for scale • Bowel management subscale (26 items) SCI-QOL (SCI-QOL@udel.edu) • International SCI bowel function basic data set (16 items) • Detailed GI history

- 17. Evaluation • Quantifies amount of faeces • Ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon & recto-sigmoid • Scored as • No faeces – 1 • Small amount of facecs – 2 • Moderate faecal stasis – 3 • Severe faecal stasis – 4 • Minimum score is 4 and maximum is 16 Starreveld score on abdominal x-ray CT abdomen
- 18. Evaluation • Colonic transit time • Radio-opaque markers • Distribution of markers in right, transverse and recto-sigmoid • Scintigraphy with 99m-Tc-sulfur colloid • Every 30 minutes for 2 hrs for gastric emptying • 24, 48, 72 after the meals • Wireless motility capsule • Information on pH, gastric emptying, colonic and whole gut transit time
- 19. Evaluation • Anorectal manometry • Pelvic floor dyssynergia / obstructive defecation • Deficient propulsive force with increased resistance • High rectal pressure / paradoxical contraction of pelvic floor • Sensor probe can measure • Puborectalis and anal sphincter pressure at rest / squeeze / cough • Rectal sensation & compliance • Presence of recto-anal inhibitory reflex (RAIR) • Pelvic electromyography • Pudendal nerve latency • Rectal tone is higher in supraconal lesions than conal/cauda equina lesions • Pudandal neuropathy and impaired RAIR is common
- 21. Common complications Constipation Incontinence Abdominal pain Anorectal pain • Mechanical rectal stimulation can induce • Bradycardia / arrythmia / pounding headache / anxiety / sweating above level /flushing / blurry vision / nasal congestion / piloerection • Discontinue rectal stimulation • Use lidocaine lubricating gel / slow rotation /10-20 seconds / every 5-10 minutes • Use gastrocolic reflex Autonomic dysreflexia – T6 level or above
- 22. Manual manoeuvre • Lower right abdomen with heel of hand in clockwise manner • In some likely to give abdominal pain / haemorrhoids • Increase risk / unclear benefit Abdominal massage • Performed gently • Excessive force can lead to contraction of pelvic floor • Avoid in reflexic NBD Valsalva manoeuvre
- 23. Adaptive equipment • Suppository insertor or digital stimulator
- 24. Adaptive commode
- 25. Daily fiber recommendations • SCI consortium recommends 15 gm fibre per day – adjust gradually • Asso. Rehab Nurses recommend 20-35 gm of fibre per day • Inst. Of Medicine recommends 14 gm per 1000 calories • Adequate intake 25 gm for women • 38 gm for men below 50 yrs. • 30 gm for men above 50 yrs. • 21 gm for women above 50 yrs.
- 26. Fibres • Fibre containing foods have soluble as as insoluble fibres • Coarse and insoluble fibre such as wheat bran, irritates large bowel mucosa, stimulate water & mucosa secretion, leading to soft stools • Coarser particle can produce constipation • Psyllium is a gel forming soluble fibre, high water holding capacity and resist dehydration • Fermentable oligosaccharides disaccharides monosaccharides & polyols (FODMAPS)
- 28. Maintaining hydration • Rehab Nurses suggest 2L / day to avoid constipation • Can also be estimated by one of the following • 1ml/ kcal energy consumed • 30ml/ Kg body weight • 100ml/ kg for first 10 kg, 50ml/kg for next 10 kg and 15ml for each additional kg of body weight (Fluid consumption = 1,500 + ((weight in kg-20) X 15)
- 29. Oral medications • Normal or slow transit constipation • Minimise constipating drugs (anticholinergics, opiates etc.) • Gradually increase fibre intake • Osmotic agent (milk of magnesia (Megalax) / polyethylene glycol –PEG(Pegmove)) • Supplement with osmotic agent (senna/ bisacodyl (cremaffin fresh tab)) • Lubiprostone (Lubowel) or linaclotide if no response • Prucalopride – enterokinetic (serotonin4 receptor agonist) (Pruwel) • Neostigmine with glycopyrrolate in severe cases in closely monitoring setting in hospital
- 31. Rectal agents • Bisacodyl suppository (Dulcolax) • Contact irritant, enhances motility, increases water content, reduce transit • Glycerine suppository (Neotomic enema) • Lubricant and stimulates rectal contractions • PEG based bisacodyl suppository • Docusate mini enema • Soapsuds or milk & molasses enema is not routinely recommended

Malone antegrade continence enema (MACE) • Safe & effective when conservative management fails • Surgical creation of an entry with appendix connected to abd. wall • Through appendicostomy catheter is introduced • To administer an enema to irrigate the colon and rectum • Valve mechanism is created • No leakage of stools • Does not require external device
- 39. Malone antegrade continence enema (MACE) • Potential complications • Stomal stenosis • Stomal site infection • Leakage through stoma • Difficulty in catheterisation • Among different surgical procedures, had highest quality-adjusted life expectancy • Best long term outcomes
- 40.
