Objective: To assess the outcome of the various methods used in creating continent catheterizable conduits.
Patients And Methods: The case notes were reviewed from 89 patients who underwent the formation of 112 continent catheterizable conduits.
Results: Sixty-five conduits were Mitrofanoff and 47 were antegrade colonic enema (ACE); 21 patients had both. At a mean follow-up of 34 months, 95 (85%) conduits were still in use. There was no difference in complications between the Mitrofanoff and ACE conduits; 109 (97%) conduits were continent and stomal stenosis occurred 35 (31%). There was no significant difference relating to the conduit used, the reservoir, the stoma type or the stoma site. Only 39% of patients required no revisional surgery.
Conclusion: Although urinary and fecal continence can be achieved in most patients there is a high burden of complications and revisional surgery. All patients should be counselled accordingly.

The utilization of a spare ureter to create a continent catheterizable channel to the bladder in pediatric patients.

Clinic of Urology and Pediatric Urology, University Hospital Erlangen, Germany. Electronic address:
Introduction: Clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) has significant advantages over indwelling catheters. To facilitate CIC, a continent catheterizable channel (CCC) to the bladder is required in some cases. The Mitrofanoff appendicovesicostomy (APV) is considered the gold standard for pediatric CCC creation.

Introduction: Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) can severely affect the urinary tract, leading to strictures and urine outflow obstruction, which pose significant risks to kidney function. Procedures involving the urinary mucosa often exacerbate these issues, making safe bladder emptying a major challenge. This study reviews surgical methods for managing urological complications in EB patients, with a focus on the Macedo procedure, which offers a promising alternative that avoids further bladder mucosa irritation and prevents disease exacerbation.

Background: Continent catheterizable channels (CCC) are a mainstay for reconstruction in patients with neurogenic bladders. Common complications include false passage, channel stenosis/difficult catheterization, channel incontinence, and stomal stenosis. This may result in the need for surgical revision or replacement.

Rancho Research Institute, Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center, Downey, California.
Purpose: Patients with refractory neurogenic bladder dysfunction may require urinary reconstruction due to severe incontinence, difficulty with catheterization, and to prevent upper urinary tract compromise. We evaluated long-term decisional regret and associated factors after urinary reconstruction in patients with spinal cord injury.
Materials And Methods: We interviewed patients with spinal cord injuries who underwent bladder reconstruction surgery at least 10 years ago, administering validated surveys on bowel quality of life (QoL) and dysfunction, UTIs, and decisional regret.

Division of Pediatric Urology, Riley Hospital for Children at IU Health, Indianapolis, Indiana.
Purpose: We aimed to assess long-term use of continent catheterizable urinary channels (CCCs) and explore potential risk factors of disuse.
Materials And Methods: People undergoing appendicovesicostomy and Monti procedures at our institution were retrospectively reviewed (1991-2023). The main outcome was CCC disuse (not intermittently catheterizing channels as the primary method of bladder emptying).
