    Abstract:
    Fifteen patients with low compliance bladder of varying etiologies (neurogenic bladder, radiation induced contracted bladder after radical hysterectomy, bladder tuberculosis and interstitial cystitis) underwent augmentation enterocystoplasty. The ileocecal tubular segment was used in 12 patients, ileal-patch in 2 and ileal-cup patch in 1. In all patients in whom partial reconstruction was done, the functional bladder capacity satisfactorily increased and the maximum detrusor pressure was low. The upper urinary tract did not deteriorate in 12 patients. Three died from recurrence of uterine or bladder cancer. Five neurogenic patients were managed by intermittent self-catheterization postoperatively. Another 10 patients was dry without voiding difficulty. Of 18 ureteral reimplantations in ileocecal cystoplasty, 13 had reflux without resultant progressive hydronephrosis. In 3 patients ureteral reimplantation was not required without reflux after ileal-patch and ileal-cup patch cystoplasty.
