Abstract:

Neurogenic bowel is often overshadowed by other medical complications of spinal cord injury (SCI) but can significantly impact one's quality of life. This article aims to illustrate the intricacies of anatomy and physiology within the gastrointestinal (GI) tract as it pertains to SCI and how to navigate neurogenic bowel management-from the acute postinjury phase through the lifelong journey of adaptation and care in outpatient settings.
