[Reconstruction of urinary bladder]

Reconstruction of the urinary tract was reviewed. Reconstruction of the ureter dealt with end to end ureteroureterostomy, transureteroureterostomy, bladder flap procedure, psoas hitch procedure, ureterovesiconeostomy, ileal inter position and autotransplantation of the kidney. Bladder augmentation concerned with use of the ileum, ileocecal segment and sigmoid colon, together with artificial material. Reconstruction of the bladder included urinary diversion such as ileal, jejunal, sigmoid, transverse and ileocecal conduit, ureterureterostomy, continent urinary reservoir such as Kock, Mainz and Indiana pouch, and total replacement of the bladder using various segments of intestine anastomosed to the urethra. Surgical endeavor performed by urologists during the past 100 years from 1890 to 1990 was tremendous and it was mainly reviewed from the standpoints of surgical technique and complications.
