  • Title: Use of the appendix to provide urinary continence.
    Author: Docherty JG, Carachi R.
    Journal: Eur J Pediatr Surg; 1993 Feb; 3(1):25-7. PubMed ID: 8466871.
    Abstract:
    We describe a technique used to provide urinary continence to a group of teenagers with neuropathic bladders. The technique gives continence to a urinary reservoir by utilising the appendix as a continent catheterisable conduit. Of the first five patients to have this procedure performed in this institute, four became fully continent. We feel that this procedure can be of great benefit to both children and adults with urinary incontinence.
