Xiao Chuan-Guo Hospital: Surgery for Permanent Resolution of Incontinence
This hospital specializes in treating patients with neurogenic bladder and its complications resulting from spinal bifida, spinal cord injury, and radical cancer surgery. We employ the Xiao procedure to manage urinary and fecal incontinence problems in patients and effectively address other associated complications.
Our Hospital's Standard Patient Care Protocol
PATIENT APPOINTMENT
Evaluating the patient’s condition, discussing treatment strategies, and confirming the appointment schedule.
PATIENT ARRIVAL AND ADMISSION
Greeting patients and their companions upon arrival in Shenzhen, arranging accommodations, completing hospital admission procedures, and preparing patients for surgery.
SURGICAL PROCEDURES
Performing Xiao procedures and other necessary surgeries based on the patient’s symptoms.
POSTOPERATIVE CARE
Offering postoperative care and examinations, suggesting care plans for discharged patients.
PATIENT DISCHARGE AND FOLLOW-UP
Upon settling treatment fees, patients leave the hospital and receive complimentary remote consultations for three years as part of the hospital’s follow-up service.
PATIENTS AFTER RADICAL SURGERY FOR CERVICAL CANCER
The efficiency exceeds 90%, patients can urinate independently, no longer suffer from urinary tract infections, and kidney function returns to normal.
PATIENTS AFTER RADICAL SURGERY FOR RECTAL CANCER
The efficiency exceeds 90%, patients can urinate independently, no longer suffer from urinary tract infections, and kidney function returns to normal.
PATIENTS AFTER RADICAL SURGERY FOR BONE TUMORS
The efficiency exceeds 90%, patients can urinate independently, no longer suffer from urinary tract infections, and kidney function returns to normal.

Xiao procedure for treating neurogenic bladder in spinal cord injury patients:
-
Xiao procedure involves cutting a part of a nerve that controls lower limb movement (L5 anterior root) and linking it to the nerve that controls the bladder detrusor muscle (S2 and/or S3 anterior roots). This establishes a new nerve pathway through the “skin-spinal cord-central nervous system-bladder reflex arc.” Stimulating the skin area controlled by the L5 posterior root sends signals from the L5 anterior root to the bladder, prompting the detrusor muscle to contract, aiding controlled urination.
-
Recovery and outcomes post-treatment:
-
Nerve growth typically takes about 8 months to a year (depending on individual circumstances). Successful neuroanastomosis results in restored bladder function, enabling independent voiding and addressing urinary incontinence issues in spinal cord injury patients.
Patients with spinal cord injuries
-
CONUS MEDULLARIS DECOMPRESSION:
-
Ensure adequate decompression of nerve root for preventing spinal canal narrowing and nerve compression.
-
REPAIR OF SPINA BIFIDA AND MYELOMENINGOCELE:
-
Remove the cystic mass, repair the defect, separate any posteriorly displaced spinal cord or nerve roots, and reintroduce them into the spinal canal without damage.
-
RELEASE OF TETHERED SPINAL CORD:
-
For patients with tethered spinal cord syndrome, during spinal exploration, release adhesions and cut the filum terminale to prevent further damage to lower limb function.
-
NEUROANASTOMOSIS:
-
Connect 1/4 of the motor nerves from the lower limb with the visceral nerves controlling bladder voiding to establish a new voiding pathway. Once the new nerves have grown and developed, the brain can autonomously control urination.
