Purpose: Bladder augmentation by enterocystoplasty or detrusorectomy might prevent renal damage, help achieve dryness and decrease the need for antimuscarinics. We compared the long-term outcomes of enterocystoplasty and detrusorectomy in adults with spina bifida.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective study using the hospital electronic database was performed. We identified 47 patients with spina bifida (median age at followup 26.8 years) who underwent either enterocystoplasty or detrusorectomy between 1988 and 2004. Median followup was 13.1 years in the detrusorectomy group and 15.3 years in the enterocystoplasty group.
Results: In the detrusorectomy group 4 patients with treatment failure were identified. All 4 patients underwent secondary enterocystoplasty. No reoperation was necessary in the enterocystoplasty group. Preoperative bladder volume was approximately 100 ml higher in the detrusorectomy group (not significant). There was a significantly greater improvement of median bladder volume in the enterocystoplasty group (increase of 300 vs 77.5 ml, p = 0.006). No differences in continence rate, antimuscarinic use or condition of the upper tract were found.
Conclusions: In this series of 47 patients long-term outcomes were good after enterocystoplasty and detrusorectomy, although bladder volume exhibited a greater increase in the enterocystoplasty group. No differences were observed among the other outcomes. If preoperative bladder volume is sufficient, detrusorectomy can be considered before enterocystoplasty is done.

Alternatives to conventional enterocystoplasty in children: a critical review of urodynamic outcomes.

Alternatives to conventional enterocystoplasty have been developed in order to avoid the most common complications derived from contact of the urine with intestinal mucosa. In this article critically we review the literature on the topics: ureterocystoplasty, detrusorectomy, detrusorotomy, seromuscular gastroenterocystoplasty, use of off the shelf biomaterials, and bladder augmentation by bioengineering. Recognizing the difficulty of deciding when a child with a history of posterior urethral valves requires and augmentation and that the development of a large megaureter in cases of neurogenic dysfunction represents a failure of initial treatment, we conclude that ureterocystoplasty can be useful in selected cases when a large dilated ureter is available.

We present the case of a 31-year-old spina bifida patient presenting with a poorly differentiated T3N1M0 bladder carcinoma with sarcomatoid differentiation in an auto-augmented bladder. She underwent a radical cystectomy and a bilateral lymph node dissection. However, only 10 months after the onset of her symptoms, she died after major lymphatic metastases had developed in the small pelvis.

Purpose: To find answers about preventing the colonic mucosal regrowth after seromuscular enterocystoplasty and the dissection pane, we performed an experimental study in dogs. We also report our experience with mucosal regrowth and bladder function after augmentation colocystoplasty.
Materials And Methods: This study comprised 10 adult healthy female mongrel dogs.
A new approach to bladder augmentation in children: seromuscular enterocystoplasty.
BJU Int

Department of Urology, Gülhane Military Medical Academy, Ankara, Turkey.
Objective: To report the use of seromuscular enterocystoplasty (SE) combined with detrusorectomy, in children.
Patients And Methods: Between 1993 and 1998, SE was performed in 10 children (aged 10-17 years) with a spastic neurogenic bladder resulting from spinal trauma. Before surgery all children were incontinent and despite anticholinergic medication and clean intermittent catheterization, their bladder capacity was 60-100 mL and their intravesical pressure 40-60 cmH2O.
