bladder exstrophy/creatinine

BACKGROUND Complete primary repair of bladder exstrophy (CPRE) is widely used for classic bladder exstrophy (CBE) closure. Long-term renal function with or without dilation in these patients is poorly characterized and may be impacted by bladder storage parameters or recurrent urinary tract

OBJECTIVE The augmented valved rectum and double folded rectosigmoid bladder represent 2 modifications of ureterosigmoidostomy. Both procedures improve continence by lowering the reservoir pressure. We present the outcome of these techniques on the upper urinary tract, continence, metabolic profile,

OBJECTIVE To demonstrate the long-term outcome of a contemporary series of 64 children who underwent complete primary repair of bladder exstrophy (CPRE) in a single tertiary referral center. METHODS Between 1998 and 2012, 64 children, 47 boys and 17 girls, were identified. Only 60 of the 64 cases

OBJECTIVE Reconstruction of bladder exstrophy remains a challenge. We evaluated our experience with complete primary repair in classic bladder exstrophy. METHODS A retrospective data review was conducted of bladder exstrophy patients presenting at our institution between May 2000 and September 2007.

OBJECTIVE We report our experience with a low-pressure colonic pouch for urinary diversion in women with irreparable vesicovaginal fistulas and bladder extrophy. METHODS This is a case series of 35 women with irreparable vesicovaginal fistula who underwent urinary diversion and two cases performed

OBJECTIVE Gastrocystoplasty is no longer favored at many institutions due to complications, including the hematuria-dysuria syndrome and metabolic alkalosis. We reviewed our experience to determine the advantages and disadvantages of bladder augmentation using stomach body wall. METHODS We

This case report describes a female patient with bladder exstrophy and chronic compensated renal insufficiency as it relates to the topic of urinary bladder augmentation using the stomach and cutaneous vesicostomy with a Mitrofanoff continent stoma. Due to complete congenital bladder exstrophy the

OBJECTIVE Continent anal urinary diversion is a therapeutic option in bladder exstrophy. We report our long-term results with the rectosigmoid pouch (Mainz pouch II), a modification of the classic ureterosigmoidostomy. METHODS A total of 38 children with a mean age of 5 years (range 0.5 to 17)

OBJECTIVE We evaluated the impact of reconstructive bladder procedures on the upper urinary tract in bladder/cloacal exstrophy. METHODS A total of 57 patients underwent bladder neck procedures for urinary incontinence due to bladder exstrophy between 1988 and 2001. We correlated evidence of renal

OBJECTIVE We investigated the long-term metabolic effects of gastrointestinal composite urinary reservoirs in patients with myelomeningocele or exstrophy. METHODS Seven patients with myelomeningocele or exstrophy who required complex urinary reconstruction in the setting of metabolic acidosis or the

OBJECTIVE To study the outcome of endoscopic hyaluronic acid/dextranomer injection in patients with vesico-ureteric reflux (VUR). METHODS Sixty-three children were evaluated with a median follow up of 18 months (12-55 months) before injecting hyaluronic acid/dextranomer in a total of 99 ureteric

BACKGROUND Renal allograft outcome, during an 8 year period (1985-1992), has been assessed in 56 renal transplants performed in 55 patients who had end-stage renal failure as a consequence of urological abnormalities. The abnormalities were: primary vesicoureteric reflux (VUR) or renal dysplasia (26

BACKGROUND Bladder augmentation is an important part of pediatric reconstructive urology. This study was conducted to assess the feasibility and results of our technique of preperitoneal bladder augmentation. METHODS Thirty-three children underwent preperitoneal bladder augmentation for small

OBJECTIVE Gastrocystoplasty has been performed as an alternative to enterocystoplasty to increase bladder capacity and/or compliance while avoiding the complications associated with the use of bowel segments. Gastrocystoplasty is not without metabolic and physiological complications, such as the

Gastrocytoplasty was undertaken for 5 patients with bladder dysfunction and incontinence caused by neurogenic bladder in 3 cases, bladder exstrophy in 1 case and trauma in 1 case respectively. The age of the patients ranged from 5 years through 14 years at the operation. Decreased renal function was
