  • Title: Clinical aspects of augmentation enterocystoplasties.
    Author: Lunghi F, Nicita G, Selli C, Rizzo M.
    Journal: Eur Urol; 1984; 10(3):159-63. PubMed ID: 6723734.
    Abstract:
    Augmentation enterocystoplasty was performed in 28 patients with tuberculous, interstitial, radiation and chronic bacterial cystitis and hypertonic neurogenic bladder. Better results were observed in tuberculous contracted bladders where the extent of bladder resection and the bowel segment used were not related to the surgical outcome. In the other forms, the ileocecal segment is preferable. In our experience patients with neurogenic bladder did not benefit from the procedure. Radiographic and urodynamic studies are valuable for an accurate follow-up; radioisotope scan is also useful in selected cases. Anatomical and surgical causes of failure are discussed. Pharmacologic treatment is useful in partial surgical failure and provides indications for further bladder neck surgery.
