ABSTRACT

From 1985 to 1995, 13 children with neurogenic bladder underwent augmentation cystoplasty. Diagnosis in these 13 children included Meningomyelocele in 11 and unknown origin in 2. Indications for augmentation cystoplasty were persists incontinence in 6 patients and progressive upper urinary tract deterioration in Bowel segments were used for augmentation included sigmoid colon in 1 patient, ileocecal segments incontinence in 6 patients stomach in 3. Dilated ureter also was used in 1 patient. Postoperatively, all the patients have stable upper tracts radiographically and stable or improved renal function. Of 13 patients 12 require clean intermittent catheterization to empty bladder and 10 are completely continent. After operation, bladder capacity increased from 155 ml to 305 ml and there were significant increases in bladder compliance. Hypereflexia was present in 5 patients before operation and in 3 patients after operation. There has been no surgical mortality. Postoperative complications occurred in 4 patients included mild ileus in 2 patients, mucus obstruction in 1, mild hematuria in 1, metabolic alkalosis in 1 and superficial wound infection in All complications were transient and managed medically. the kind of bowel segments did not seem to influence results. We think that augmentation cystoplasty is a therapeutic modality that should be considered as a viable treatment option in selected patients with neurogenic bladder dysfunction.
