Continent vesicostomy. Application in a patient.

M L Smith, L D Lagasse, W G Watring

    Obstetrics and Gynecology
    |August 1, 1978

    Summary

    Continent vesicostomy offers a solution for severely dysfunctional bladders, enabling emptying via catheterization. This surgical technique provides an alternative for cancer patients with impaired bladder function.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Reconstructive Surgery

    Background:

    • Patients undergoing extensive pelvic surgery for cancer often experience severe bladder dysfunction.
    • Traditional urinary diversion methods like conduits can be disabling.
    • A need exists for alternative bladder management strategies.

    Observation:

    • Continent vesicostomy, previously established in laboratory animals, allows controlled bladder emptying.
    • The procedure involves transabdominal catheterization at predetermined intervals.
    • Successful application in a human patient with post-cancer pelvic surgery is detailed.

    Findings:

    • The described technique successfully created a continent vesicostomy in a patient with impaired bladder function.
    • This method facilitates bladder emptying through catheterization.

  • It addresses the functional deficits following pelvic cancer treatment.

    • Implications:

    • Continent vesicostomy presents a viable alternative to urinary conduits for select patients.
    • This approach may improve quality of life for cancer survivors with bladder dysfunction.
    • Further research may explore the long-term efficacy and applicability of this technique.
