Additional Surgeries after Bladder Augmentation in Patients with Spina Bifida in the 21st Century.

Purpose: We determined the long-term risks of additional surgery after bladder augmentation in a modern spina bifida cohort accounting for differential followup.

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed patients with spina bifida who were born after 1972 and were followed at our institution after augmentation surgery performed between 1979 and 2018. Outcomes included diversion, bladder stones, perforation, reaugmentation, laparotomy for bowel obstruction, and benign and malignant bladder tumors.
