Pregnancy in women with augmented bladders presents risks like infections and incontinence. Cesarean delivery is recommended for those with vesical neck reconstruction to preserve continence.

Area of Science:

Urology
Obstetrics
Pediatric Surgery

Background:

Augmentation cystoplasty is a common procedure for children with urinary diversions.
Reconstruction may involve an artificial genitourinary sphincter.
These procedures aim to improve bladder capacity and function.

Observation:

Two cases of pregnancy in women with augmented bladders are presented.
Complications included recurrent urinary tract infections, urinary calculi, and incontinence.
One patient experienced artificial genitourinary sphincter malfunction during pregnancy.

Findings:

Pyelonephritis in one patient may have contributed to premature delivery.
Close monitoring for renal function decline, urinary obstruction, and infection is crucial.

Implications:

Pregnancy in augmented bladders requires vigilant multidisciplinary management.
Cesarean section is advised for patients with vesical neck reconstruction to prevent continence disruption.
These findings highlight potential risks and management strategies for a growing patient population.
