按Peters等的试验结果论文,病人在术后9个月之前就停用了膀胱肌肉麻痹剂(“Antimuscarinics were stopped by 9 months”),其中,9名病人中有4人从来就没有使用过。而且,据Beaumont医院曾大肆宣传但后来失败了的脊柱损伤病人的母亲透露,病人术前即停止或逐步停止使用肌肉麻痹剂(“He was not taking any Ditropan, etc., before the surgery. But the other 2 patients were. They were asked to cut it by 1/3 a week prior to surgery, they will cut again in 3 months and completely stop at 6.”)
更重要的是,按Peters等在论文中公布的膀胱容量数据,使用过膀胱肌肉麻痹剂的5名病人,膀胱容量并未过度扩张;而且,从未使用过的4名病人,反倒比使用过的5名病人术后“效果”更差,前者平均膀胱容量术后一年只比术前增加了10ml,而后者增加了68ml。(注:9名病人中,术后膀胱容量增加的有5人、减少的有4人,且离散程度非常大。另据文献资料,随年龄增长,正常儿童膀胱容量每年增加约15ml。)
将国外手术失败归咎于膀胱肌肉麻痹剂,这其实肖的“老”诡辩
