Neuro-urology expert witnesses

Neuro-urological evidence commonly enters a case after the acute event, when the question becomes what bladder function was lost and what management and care will be required. Catheter regimens, urodynamic studies and renal surveillance are the material that establishes both. The report should also state which findings rest on formal testing and which on reported symptoms, because bladder claims frequently turn on that distinction. Continence diaries and district nursing entries often supply the detail the hospital record omits.

• Whether bladder dysfunction was recognised and investigated after the neurological event.
• Whether urodynamic assessment was undertaken and interpreted appropriately.
• Whether the bladder management regimen chosen protected renal function.
• Whether recurrent infection, stone formation or upper tract damage was avoidable.
• What continuing bladder care and equipment the evidence supports.
