Abstract
Fifty-nine patients who had undergone augmentation cystoplasty were studied over a period of 18 years. The indications for the operation were a tuberculous contracted bladder in 51, interstitial cystitis in 7 and carcinoma in 1. The ileum was used in one patient, the colon in 16 and the caecum in 42. The results did not seem to be influenced by the segment of bowel and the long-term results of using the colon as bladder substitute were similar to those achieved by using the caecum. An excellent result has been achieved in 78% of the 49 surviving patients. Operative mortality was 5.1% (3 patients). Contraindications include progressive severe renal failure, enuresis and a history of previous psychiatric disturbance.Keywords
