  • Title: Experiences with urinary undiversion in children with neurogenic bladder.
    Author: Perlmutter AD.
    Journal: J Urol; 1980 Mar; 123(3):402-6. PubMed ID: 7359645.
    Abstract:
    Six children have undergone reconstruction of the urinary tract 14 months to 14 years after supravesical diversion for neurogenic bladder dysfunction. Five are continent: 4 by intermittent catheterization and 1 by voiding to completion. One child is just beyond infancy and wets but is not yet on a systematic program. One boy was considered a technical failure despite incontinence because of progressive hydronephrosis from a non-compliant bladder but he subsequently had an augmentation cystoplasty. Urinary undiversion into a neurogenic bladder is an acceptable option as an alternative to ileal conduit revision or for reasons of patient preference, provided bladder storage capacity is adequate at acceptably low resting pressures, without incontinence.
