We evaluated long-term decisional regret and associated factors after urinary reconstruction in patients with spinal cord injury.</p><p><strong>Materials and methods: </strong>We interviewed patients with spinal cord injuries who underwent bladder reconstruction surgery at least 10 years ago, administering validated surveys on bowel quality of life (QoL) and dysfunction, UTIs, and decisional regret. Daily bladder management and symptoms were assessed using the Neurogenic Bladder Symptom Score, a validated questionnaire consisting of 3 domains that examine incontinence, storage and voiding, and other health and QoL consequences of neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction. Demographics, injury characteristics, and surgical modality were collected through chart reviews. Decisional regret was compared among subgroups and correlated with patient-reported outcomes.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>We evaluated 52 patients (41 men, 78.8%; mean age 54.9 ± 10 years) with average follow-up of 30 ± 8.6 years of postinjury and 21.9 ± 5.3 years of postsurgery. Reconstruction procedures mostly included bladder augmentation (n = 38, 73.1%) and augmentation with continent catheterizable stoma (n = 9, 17.3%). Most of the patients were of Hispanic origin (n = 41, 78.8%) with complete spinal cord injuries (n = 39, 76%). The median decision regret score was 7.5 (IQR: 0-25), indicating low regret among most participants. Bladder irrigation frequency (<i>P</i> = .002) was associated with decision regret, while other patient and surgical factors (eg, demographics, UTI frequency, and surgery type) were not. Surgical regret was moderately correlated with diminished bowel-related QoL (<i>ρ</i> = 0.333, <i>P</i> = .016) and increased Neurogenic Bladder Symptom Score (<i>ρ</i> = 0.328, <i>P</i> = .018). The Incontinence (<i>ρ</i> = 0.286, <i>P</i> = .040) and Consequences (<i>ρ</i> = 0.299, <i>P</i> = .031) domains of this measure showed weak statistically significant correlations with regret, while the Storage and Voiding domain did not reach significance (<i>ρ</i> = 0.245, <i>P</i> = .080).</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Long-term follow-up suggests that lower urinary tract reconstruction with bowel interposition is a well-accepted and durable approach for managing refractory neurogenic bladder.
