Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the long-term outcome of the serous-lined extramural continent catheterizable outlet procedure (SLECCOP) associated with ileal bladder augmentation in children.
Methods: This was a monocentric and retrospective study (2002-2021) that included children (<18 years) undergoing the SLECCOP associated with W-shaped ileocystoplasty with a catheterizable channel (Abol-Enein and Ghoneim procedure). Patients who received other types of bladder augmentation or W-shaped ileocystoplasty without a catheterizable channel were excluded.
A major complication of feminizing genitoplasty in children is the loss of clitoral sensation with serious impact at adult life. We suggest a new method to evaluate the surgical results during childhood based on the bulbocavernosus or clitoro-perineal reflex (CPR). The afferent pathway of CPR implies the intact sensory receptors on the clitoral glans.
