Spina Bifida and Neurogenic Bowel Management

Over 150,000 Americans live with spina bifida, a birth defect that mainly affects the spine and can cause neurogenic bladder or bowel. Sarah was born with spina bifida at the L4/L5 and L5/S1 levels, resulting in a neurogenic bladder and bowel. Sarah has been using the Peristeen® Transanal Irrigation System since 2015 and has recently started using the updated Peristeen® Plus system. She will share her journey through treatment techniques that ultimately led her to Peristeen Plus, along with her tips, advice, and best practices for using the system.
