Calcification of Glutaraldehyde Cross-Linked Collagen in Bladder Neck Injections in Children With Incontinence: A Long-Term Complication

Abstract

Of our patients 13% had development of calcifications at the site of prior glutaraldehyde cross-linked collagen injections for incontinence. These calcifications were surrounded by chronic inflammation. Patients who have undergone glutaraldehyde cross-linked collagen injections may benefit from long-term followup with bladder imaging to detect and follow calcifications at prior injection sites.
