[Hautmann enterocystoplasty. Clinical and urodynamic study in 24 patients]

Twenty-four patients with invasive bladder cancer underwent Hautmann enterocystoplasty. A study of the urinary continence revealed 100 per cent of good results during the day and 87.5 per cent of good results at night. Urodynamic investigation after 3 months revealed that only one patient presented with peristaltic waves and that the postmicturating residual urine volume was always less than 100 cc. There was no mortality in this series. The only uncertainty concerns the long-term outcome of these patients because of the risk of incomplete emptying and distension of the neobladder.
