Vesicostomy in the Rat Model for Low-Pressure Urinary Drainage in Neurogenic Bladder Research.

The rat is the primary animal model for preclinical research on spinal cord injury (SCI)-induced neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (nLUTD). Owing to its anatomical and functional similarity to humans, rats closely recapitulate key pathological consequences of SCI. However, a crucial translational gap remains:...
