  • Title: [Late results of ureterosigmoidostomy in treating extrophy of the bladder (author's transl)].
    Author: Sztaba R, Karcz J.
    Journal: Zentralbl Chir; 1979; 104(21):1429-33. PubMed ID: 547590.
    Abstract:
    26 children with extrophy of the bladder were treated surgically during a period of 23 years. In all cases a ureterosigmoidostomy was performed with a follow up of 1-22 years in 15 of 26 cases. In 9 children the clinical, radiological, and biochemical findings were good in 4 satisfying and 2 bad due to hydronephrosis and electrolyte disturbances. The authors recommend direct implantation of the ureters into the rectosigmoid, according to the technique of Goodwin. This approach is simple from a technical point of view and the immediate and late complications are less frequent than with other methods.
