Bladder contractions were measured in response to scratching as well (Fig. 4). At the 6-month interval, when the patient believed he might be able to urinate in response to scratching the left L-5 dermatome, he was found to have bladder contractions > 15 cm H2O in response to scratching in the right L-5 dermatomal distribution but not on the left (surgical) side. By 12 months after surgery, he had contractions > 15 cm H2O in response to scratching the left L-5 dermatome (surgical side) but not in the contralateral L-5 distribution. By 18 and 24 months after surgery, his bladder contracted enough to raise pressure > 15 cm H2O when scratching on the control side (right L-5 dermatome) but not on the surgical side (left L-5).
术后6个月， 抓挠非手术侧皮区可引起膀胱收缩，但抓挠手术侧皮区不行。
术后12个月，抓挠 手术侧皮区可引起膀胱收缩，但抓挠非手术侧皮区不行。
术后12/18个月， 抓挠非手术侧皮区可引起膀胱收缩，但抓挠手术侧皮区不行。
术后3年，探查发现神经吻合处长成了神经瘤。
作者说，“今后的研究应谨慎阐释术后的一时改善”，明指“今后”暗指“以前”，包括肖的结果解释、Beaumont术后一年结果的解释不靠谱。
作者未引用Beaumont三名脊髓损伤患者失败案例，也未引用德国失败8例。前者情有可原，因为Beaumont本来就未发表。后者已多次发表摘要，未引用实不应当。德国8例与ACH这例相似，早期曾报道有所改善，但远期无反射弧、无改善，所以，如果引用了德国8例，这个结论就不好意思说了：It is impossible to draw broad conclusions about the efficacy of the procedure based on a single patient with no demonstrable benefit。
