A new technique of bladder enlargement and continent urinary diversion using the ceco-appendicular unit / R. Dubois, A. Bouhafs, G. Pelizzo, P. Carlioz, A.F. Valmalle, H. Dodat. - In: PEDIATRIC SURGERY INTERNATIONAL. - ISSN 0179-0358. - 17:7(2001), pp. 578-583.
Abstract:
The authors developed a new technique using the cecum with in-situ appendix to simultaneously achieve bladder enlargement and continent urinary diversion (CUD) in five cases of neuropathic bladder or serious complications of abdominopelvic trauma. The cecoplasty provides a large-capacity, low-pressure reservoir; the submucosally-embedded appendix gives complete continence with 3 to 5 intermittent catheterizations daily. It is an alternative to the Mitrofanoff principle when bladder augmentation and CUD are necessary, and easier to achieve when faced with a neuropathic bladder where the thickness of the detrusor makes appendicular implantation difficult.
