3 Abstract Purpose: Although previous studies have reported high success rates (70-85%) after an intradural somatic-to-autonomic nerve transfer procedure in children with spinal dysraphism, none of the studies had a control group or blinded observers. Herein we report on a rigorously designed study to investigate the effectiveness of the Xiao procedure. Materials and Methods: Children with neurogenic bladder dysfunction related to myelomeningocele or lipomyelomeningocele, who required spinal cord detethering (DT), were randomized between two groups at the time of surgery: half underwent only DT and half underwent the Xiao procedure (XP) in addition to spinal cord detethering (DT+X). Double blinded evaluations were performed at regular intervals during the 3-year follow-up. Results: 10 patients underwent only DT and 10 underwent DT+X. The XP did not result in voluntary voiding or continence in any patient, but patients in DT+X were more likely to have greater improvements in total bladder capacity, bladder over-activity and overall quality of life than those who only underwent DT. By the end of the study, none of the double blinded participants or evaluators were able to accurately predict to which group the patients had been assigned. Conclusions: The results of this RCT are in agreement with recently published, similarly disappointing results of the Xiao procedure in spinal cord injury. Improvements in bladder parameters observed in this study may be related to sacral nerve root section, a necessary portion of the XP, instead of reinnervation. Confirmatory animal studies are recommended before further clinical trials of the XP in humans are performed. 2
4 INTRODUCTION The Xiao Procedure (XP), which creates a skin-cns-bladder reflex through an intradural lumbosacral nerve transfer, has been reported to result in voluntary voiding in patients with neurogenic bladder dysfunction related to spinal cord injury and spina bifida. 1-6 However, recent studies of the XP in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI), by other investigators, did not result in measureable benefit to patients, raising concern about the reproducibility of Xiao s results. Our group recently published the initial results of a randomized, prospective, double blinded trial of the XP in 20 children undergoing spinal cord detethering. 11 In summary, all patients remained incontinent, wore pull-ups or diapers, and were unable to initiate or control their own urination in a meaningful way before and at all intervals during the three year follow-up. Urodynamic bladder contractions (Pdet > 10 cm H20) in response to scratching occurred in many patients who did and did not undergo the XP. No patient who underwent the XP had reliable, reproducible scratch-initiated bladder contractions or controlled voiding after surgery. 11 Here we report more detailed results pertaining to urologic outcomes and the patients perception of their results. METHODS Please refer to our previous publication for details regarding IRB approval (# ), methodological details and initial results. 11 Briefly, any patient less than 21 years of age, with neurogenic bladder dysfunction related to spina bifida, who was scheduled for spinal cord detethering for the usual reasons, was eligible for enrollment in the study. Patients underwent detailed evaluations at regular intervals throughout the three year follow-up. All patients and evaluators were blinded throughout the study to the surgical procedure that was performed. 11 Urodynamic testing was done with retrograde filling and patch EMG in accordance with the International Children s Continence Guidelines 12 using the Aquarius TT system (Laborie, Williston, Vermont). All urodynamic studies were performed by a urodynamic technologists along with the study nurse coordinator (LLT). A rectal catheter was used to measure abdominal pressure. The bladder was filled cc/min to the total bladder capacity (TBC), determined by a sensation of fullness or discomfort, signs of autonomic dysreflexia, a significant leak around the catheter or a major sustained spike in bladder pressure. Once the TBC was reached, 20% of the volume was released and systematic scratching of the lower extremities ensued. Patients underwent urodynamic studies before surgery and at 6, 9, 12, 18, 24 and 36 months after surgery. We report results at one year intervals because they are very similar to the results at the other time intervals All patients completed the same questionnaires utilized by Peters et al in their previous study of the Xiao procedure in patients with spina bifida. 4, 5 Clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) and all 3
5 bladder active medications (antispasmodics and anticholinergics, BAMs) were discontinued two weeks prior to surgery and were only reinstituted during the three year follow-up if the upper tracts were at risk, as defined by the protocol outlined in the supplement (Supp. Table 1). After patients completed the entire study, patients, both study urologists and the research coordinator all tried to predict the group to which the patient has been randomized. Decisions about reinstitution of CIC and BAMs after completion of the study were made based on typical clinical parameters. The management of bowel function was directed by the usual caregivers and health care providers, not by a specific protocol. RESULTS Summary of Baseline Characteristics and Surgical Details (Supp Tables 2,3 and 4) Of the 20 patients enrolled in the study, 10 underwent DT and 10 underwent DT+X. The distribution of baseline characteristics between the two groups were similar, except that patients in DT+X were younger and less likely to be utilizing CIC and taking BAMs prior to surgery when compared to DT. DT+X donor roots were as follows: L5=5, L4=2, S1=2, T11=1. Recipient roots in DT +X were as follows: S3/4=7, S2/3/4=1, S3=1, S2=1. Nerve grafts were utilized in two patients. 11 Five patients in DT+X had worsening urologic symptoms as their primary indication for detethering: Three developed LPP>40 cm H20 and two had a decline in TBC associated with frequent UTIs and leaking between catheterizations. Urge to Urinate, CIC, and Bladder Active Medications (Figure 1, Supp Table 3) Before surgery, 20% of DT+X and 50% of DT felt the urge to void. By one year after surgery, two additional patients in both groups felt the urge to void. Of the patients who did not have the urge to urinate before surgery, 3 of 8 (37%) in DT+X and 2 of 5 (40%) in DT felt to the urge to urinate at study completion. CIC was utilized before surgery in 40% of DT+X and 70% of DT. Most patients were able to stay off CIC throughout the study. After study completion, when patients and their urologists made decisions about catheterization based on clinical symptoms, 5 of 9 (56%) in DT+X and 5 of 8 (62%) in DT chose to utilize CIC. Before surgery, BAMs were used in 40% of DT+X and 50% of DT. Most patients in both groups were able to safely stay off BAMs during the study period, however, by the end of the study, 2 patients in both groups chose to return to BAMs. There were no statistically significant differences in the urge to urinate, the use of CIC or the use of BAMs when comparing the DT+X to DT group at any point in the study Total Bladder Capacity (Figure 2, Supp Table 4) Baseline TBC was lower in DT+X compared to DT (medians: 136 vs. 188 cc, p = 0.17). The median TBC, when compared to baseline, increased more in DT+X than DT (medians: 1 yr 59cc vs. 36cc, p = 0.36; 4
6 yrs 107cc vs. 78cc, p = 0.42; 3 yrs: 100cc vs. 66cc, p = 0.22). Overall there were no significant differences in TBC between the groups at the different time points; however, two patients in DT+X had large increases in TBC compared to baseline (179cc and 356cc), while the TBC decreased for three patients in DT by the end of the study. Patient 5 (DT+X) did not have her TBC included in the two and three year analyses because she had undergone bladder augmentation at 18 months. By comparing the actual change in TBC to the age related increase in TBC predicted by the Hjälmås formula (30+age in years X 30), there were greater improvements in TBC in DT+X compared to DT (p = 0.14). 13 Leak Point Pressure (Supp Table5) Prior to surgery, 3 patients in both groups had LPP > 40 cm H2O and one patient in each group did not leak at all during bladder filling. By one year, LPP increased in 4 patients in DT (< 40 cm H2O before surgery, > 40 cm H2O after), but none of those in DT+X had a similar increase. LPPs worsened with time in the DT+X group, but not as severely as those in the DT group: By 3 years, 90% of patients in DT had no leak or a LPP > 40 cm H2O, compared to 5 of 9 (56%) in DT+X. The bladders of six patients in DT transitioned from a LPP < 40 cm H2O before surgery to either no leak or a LPP > 40 cm H2O. However, only two patients in DT+X had a similar worsening in their LPP over three years. Uninhibited Detrusor Contractions (Supp Table 5) Prior to surgery, 90% of DT+X and 80% of DT had UDCs > 15cm H2O. By one year, 2 of 9 (22%) of DT+X had resolution of their previous UDCs, but none improved in DT. By three years, UDCs had resolved in 2 of 9 (22%) of DT+X and 1 of 8 (13%) of DT. Reactivity of Neurogenic Bladder (Supp Table 5) Prior to surgery, 80% of patients in each group were considered to have overactive neurogenic bladders. Over the three year study period, patients in DT+X more frequently experienced a decrease in bladder contractility than those in DT. 3 of 8 (38%) overactive bladders in DT+X and 1 of 8 (13%) in DT normalized their contractility at three years. Two patients in both groups transitioned from underactive neurogenic bladder prior to surgery to overactive bladders by three years. Global Questionnaires Related to Strength, Quality of Life, Bladder and Bowel Function (Figure 3, Supp Table6) Patients perception of their bladder, bowel, and lower extremity motor function throughout the study were not statistically different when comparing the two groups at every time point. 70% of DT+X felt their ability to void had improved by one year compared to 50% of DT. By three years, 67% of DT+X felt voiding had improved compared to 40% of DT. By three years, none of the DT+X patients felt their voiding ability had worsened, but 3 of 10 did in DT At one year, half the patients in both groups felt their ability to move their bowels had improved, without significant change throughout the remaining two years. At year 2 and 3, a higher proportion of patients in the DT compared to DT+X felt their ability to move their bowels had improved. 5
7 Patients in DT felt their lower extremity leg strength had declined more than those in the DT+X: by three years, four patients in the DT group and one patient in the DT+X group felt their legs were weaker at three years than they were before surgery Improvements in patients overall quality of life (QOL) at the end of the study was greater in DT+X than in DT. At one year, 80% of patients in DT+X and 70% of DT felt their QOL was better. By three years, all patients in DT+X felt their QOL was better, but only 30% of those in DT were better than before their surgery (p = 0.003). Review of the overall data for these 5 patients showed that 4 of 5 whose quality of life worsened also had a decline in the assessment of their lower extremity strength. Of note, all four of those patients were 13 years of age or older when they enrolled in the study. All patients in the DT+X were 9 years old or younger at enrollment, with the exception of one 16 year old. Accuracy of Predicting Which Patients Underwent the Xiao Procedure (Supp Table 7) 10 of 18 (56%) of patients and their parents thought they had been assigned to DT+X, however their predictions were only accurate 44% of the time (kappa = -0.1, p = 0.67). The blinded urologists only agreed on the group assignment in 6 of 20 (30%) of the cases and each one of them was correct only 55% of the time (kappa = 0.1, p = 0.65). The research nurse, who was most familiar with every aspect of the patient s assessment, only correctly predicted the treatment arm 50% of the time (kappa = 0, p >0.99). Resumption of CIC and BAMs After The Study Was Complete (Supp Table 3) One patient in each group utilized CIC before the study and did not need to use CIC after completion of the study. However, most patients in both groups who were using CIC before the study chose to return to CIC when the study was complete. 3 patients in DT+X who did not use CIC before the study were placed on CIC after the study was complete. Most patients resumed their pre-study use or lack of utilization of BAMs at the end of the study. Two patients in both groups who used BAMs prior to the study did not resume them at the end of the study. DISCUSSION Xiao et al have published extensively on the somatic-to-autonomic intradural anastomosis, taking the concept from bench to bedside in a series of studies involving animals, patients with spinal cord injury, and children with spina bifida. 6, 10, Their results, which suggested an 86.2% rate of bladder control 6, have not been reproducible by other investigators. 6 Two well-designed European studies of adults with spinal cord injury failed to produce reflex initiated bladder contractions or meaningful urination. 7, 8 CG Xiao, in an editorial regarding the 2014 study from Denmark that failed to show a positive outcome, attributed the lack of success by other investigators to the use of BAMs after surgery. 20 Our study reported here utilized very little or no BAMs in our patients after surgery. 9 6
8 Results of the procedure in patients with spina bifida are predictably more difficult to interpret due to the presence of partial bladder and bowel function in most patients. In their study of children with spina bifida who underwent the Xiao procedure, Peters et al found scratch initiated urodynamic contractions more similar to Xiao s results than ours, but they failed to reproduce the dramatic control of urination and continence described by Xiao et al and others. 4, 5 While the results of Peters et al were concerning for a lack of duplication of the spectacular results of Xiao et al, many were still encouraged by their results. 4, 5 Our studyshowed that many of the results attributed to the performance of the Xiao Procedure may have, in fact, been related to spinal cord detethering, placebo or the effect of sacral rhizotomy. 11 For example, the greater increase in TBC, the lessened likelihood of developing elevated LPPs, and the more frequent resolution of UDCs in DT+X patients could all be related to the effect of the sacral rhizotomy that is performed during the Xiao 21, 22 Procedure, instead of the effect of reinnervation. Patients in the DT+X group had a more significant improvement in QOL at years 2 and 3, which may be attributable to an outcome that we may not have measured as part of our study. We believe the greater improvement in patients who underwent the Xiao procedure is more likely attributable to the younger age, less decline in leg function and/or a greater imrprovment in TBC in patients in DT+X. Even though we employed a randomized, double blinded methodology, our results are limited by the small sample size and/or the inclusion of only patients undergoing detethering. The randomization of younger patients to DT+X, though likely the result of chance, may have also influenced our results. The questionnaires that form the basis of the subjective measures of outcome were the same as those used by Peters et al 5, but the reliability of these questionnaires has not been validated in separate studies. CONCLUSIONS Performance of the Xiao Procedure during spinal cord detethering in patients with spina bifida was more likely to lead to improvements in QOL, TBC, bladder over-activity, and leak point pressure, all of which may be attributable to the effect of sacral rhizotomy instead of bladder reinnervation. The Xiao procedure did not result in voluntary voiding or continence in any patient. These results, in combination with results of other recently published studies, suggest that further basic science/animal studies should be performed before further clinical trials of the Xiao Procedure are performed in humans.

9 Patients undergoing the Xiao procedure during spinal cord detethering were not more likely to stay off CIC than those who only underwent detethering at most time points Figure 2: Total bladder capacity (TBC)after surgery.. When comparing actual TBC to the expected TBC based on age, patients in DT+X had a greater improvement in TBC than those who underwent only DT. 13 Figure 3: Patient and family responses to the same global questionnaires utilized by Peters et al 4, 5, assessing their perceived changes in foot and leg strength (3a), and their overall quality of life (3b). There were no statistically significant differences in their responses to the questionnaires, except for a greater improvement in quality of life for patients who underwent the Xiao procedure ((p = 0.003). Patients in DT had more worsening in foot and leg strength than patients in DT+X. References: 1.
