[Use of hypnosis in multimodal treatment of children with urologic diseases]. / Primenenie gipnoza v kompleksnom lechenii detei s urologicheskimi zabolevaniiami.

Experience in the use of hypnosis in complex treatment of 75 children with urological diseases at an in-patient hospital is generalized. In patients with total epispadias, exstrophy and trauma of the urinary bladder postoperative hypnotherapy helped in training and restoration of micturition as a result of which a second operative intervention was not needed. After removal of a drain which had been inserted for a long time for urethral stricture suggestions made during hypnosis allayed fear and pain during micturition and thus significantly contributed to the restoration of this act. In children with neurogenous urinary bladder and valve of the posterior urethra hypnotherapy was successfully applied after dissection or cauterization of the valve to remove the syndrome of day and night urinary incontinence. Thus, the function of micturition may be restored most fully only by an effect exerted on all links of the pathological process.
