Cecoappendicovesicostomy: conduit-lengthening technique for use in continent urinary reconstruction - 08/09/11
Abstract |
Objectives. To describe a conduit-lengthening technique for use in continent cutaneous appendicovesicostomy (Mitrofanoff procedure).
Methods. Fifteen consecutive patients (4 male, 11 female) with a mean age of 14.2 years underwent tubularized cecal augmentation as a means to lengthen the catheterizable conduit while performing continent cutaneous appendicovesicostomy.
Results. All patients successfully underwent appendiceal lengthening by tubularizing the cecum, thus creating a continent cutaneous cecoappendicovesicostomy. With a mean follow-up of 18.7 months, all patients have a working catheterizable conduit. One case of stomal stenosis occurred, producing a 6.7% conduit-related complication rate.
Conclusions. Cecoappendicovesicostomy is a safe and useful means of conduit lengthening for patients undergoing continent cutaneous appendicovesicostomy (Mitrofanoff procedure).
