Preserved Voluntary Micturition Control despite Early Urinary Diversion in Infancy—A Clue to a New Strategy
, Dariusz Patkowski 1, Katarzyna Kiliś-Pstrusińska 2 and Wojciech Apoznański 1
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
The authors present a single case of a 11 year girl with voluntary micturition control over time after surgical reconstruction. The child has 6 months of catheter infusion prior to the surgery and regularly trained for 7 days after surgery. The conclusion was of a changing strategy over toilet training in general
However, I believe that a single case is not sufficient for long - term conclusion of with such changing of strategy. It takes comprehensive research for such conclusion.
A conclusion for a synergistic approach should be more plausible.
Author Response
- I improved conclusions and a paragraph of discussion which refer to results. I agree that single-case report is not sufficient to such general conclusion and I added corrections.
Thank You for the review.

Reviewer 2 Report
Well written paper. Anticholinergic drug can not increase bladder volume. It's unclear. Authors should re-write that point.
Author Response
I improved a paragraph of pharmacological treatment. I wrote that both mechanisms together: bladder conditioning and anticholinergic drugs led to bladder volume increase.
Thank You for the review.
