Assessing the utility of bulbocavernosus reflex for predicting urological outcome in children with spinal dysraphism surgery

Key Points

• Urological outcomes improve significantly with the presence of bulbocavernosus reflex after surgery.
• Key evidence indicates that 70% of children displaying this reflex had favorable recovery outcomes.
• Assessment focused on children undergoing spinal dysraphism surgery and their postoperative recovery metrics.
• These findings support the use of reflex testing as a valuable predictive tool for surgical outcomes.
