Urinary tract refunctionalization after prior diversion in children.

W H Hendren

    Annals of Surgery
    |October 1, 1974
    PubMed
    Summary

    Many children with previous urinary diversion can have their bladders refunctionalized. These successful "undiversion" procedures suggest a second look at these patients is warranted.

    Normal urodynamics in patients with bladder exstrophy: are they achievable?

    The Journal of urology·1999

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Urology
    • Surgical Reconstruction

    Background:

    • Urinary diversion is a surgical procedure to create a new pathway for urine to exit the body.
    • While often permanent, the possibility of reversing urinary diversion exists.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the feasibility and success of bladder refunctionalization in children previously treated with urinary diversion.
    • To determine if "undiversion" is a viable option for young patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 32 pediatric patients who underwent bladder refunctionalization surgery.
    • Patients had prior urinary diversions, with 24 considered permanent and 8 temporary.

    Main Results:

    • Successful refunctionalization of the bladder was achieved in the studied pediatric population.
    • The procedures indicate a high potential for successful "undiversion" in select cases.

    Conclusions:

    • Bladder refunctionalization following urinary diversion is a successful surgical option for pediatric patients.
    • Many children with prior urinary diversion may be candidates for "undiversion" and should be reconsidered.
