Kidney Transplant and Neurogenic Bladder

This work presents open and laparoscopic cystoplasty of different types and kidney transplants in patients with augmented bladder. The timing of kidney transplant before augmentation in patients with neurogenic bladder or with a previously augmented neurogenic bladder and results of these procedures are discussed, as well as urinary voiding problems in patients who have undergone kidney transplant. This report reinforces the conclusion that appropriately managed neurogenic bladder does not preclude successful kidney transplant.
