Purpose: The creation of a catheterizable stoma has revolutionized the management of complex bladder reconstruction. Unfortunately, urinary incontinence per catheterizable stoma is seen in some patients. We present our experience with the use of submucosal implantation of dextranomer/hyaluronic acid in patients with catheterizable stomas with urinary incontinence.
Materials And Methods: A total of 14 patients 9 to 49 years old (mean age 17.8) underwent submucosal implantation of dextranomer/hyaluronic acid for incontinence of catheterizable stoma at our institutions between October 2001 and March 2004.
Results: There were 9 males and 5 females. Type of bowel for stoma creation included 12 appendixes and 2 small bowels. All patients had significant leak per stoma and were candidates for revision. The dextranomer/hyaluronic acid volume injected ranged from 2 to 6 cc (mean 3.7). A total of 10 patients were dry after 1 injection, 1 was dry after 2 injections and 3 remained incontinent after the procedure. Our success rate was 79%.
Conclusions: Our initial experience with the endoscopic treatment of incontinence of catheterizable stoma is encouraging, with a 79% success rate. We believe that this minimally invasive approach is warranted as an initial step in the management of urinary incontinence of catheterizable stoma before undertaking more challenging procedures.

The Macedo ileum-based reservoir for the management of bladder involvement in epidermolysis bullosa.
J Pediatr Urol
December 2024
Department of Pediatric Surgery and Urology, Medical University of Silesia, ul. Medyków 16, 40-752, Katowice, Poland.
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.

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.
Use and Disuse of Catheterizable Channels as the Primary Method of Emptying the Neuropathic Bladder: A Single Institutional Cohort Study.
J Urol
November 2024
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).

Introduction: Cutaneous stoma stenosis represents a frequent complication associated with continent catheterizable channel, often necessitating recurrent patients' consultation, hospital admission, and repetitive surgical interventions. Management strategies encompass dilatation, incision, and, in case of refractory stenosis, invasive surgical revision.
Objectives: In this study, we aimed to assess the efficacy of buccal mucosa graft as an alternative therapeutic approach for managing cutaneous catheterizable channel stenosis.

Department of Pediatric Surgery, Lady Hardinge Medical College and Kalawati Saran Children's Hospital, New Delhi, 110001, India.
Purpose: This study describes the management of urinary incontinence (UI) in eight girls with congenital pouch colon (CPC) associated with anorectal malformation (ARM).
Methods: From 2013 to 2015, six girls with CPC and UI underwent bladder neck reconstruction (BNR). Four girls had complete UI (CUI) and two girls partial UI (PUI).
