  • Title: Right colocystoplasty for bladder replacement.
    Author: Zinman L, Libertino JA.
    Journal: Urol Clin North Am; 1986 May; 13(2):321-31. PubMed ID: 3515728.
    Abstract:
    Total bladder replacement by an ileoascending colonic segment with adjunctive use of intermittent self-catheterization and secondary insertion of an artificial sphincter has been selectively employed in a group of male patients undergoing cystectomy for localized invasive bladder cancer and disabling interstitial cystitis. This bowel segment offers a capacious reservoir, an effective antireflux barrier, and a consistent tension-free colourethral or coloprostatic anastomosis. Mucous plug catheter obstruction is rarely a problem in this reservoir during the early postoperative course.
