[Results of uretero-colonic anastomoses in the child using Mathisen' technique (author's transl)]

The authors performed 35 uretero-colonic anastomoses in 19 children using the technique of Mathisen. Indications were varied (ectopia vesicae 13, neurological bladder 5, female hypospadias 1). Four types of operation were done: direct uretero-sigmoidostomy 6, Bricker reimplanted in the sigmoid 8, permanent Bricker 4, enlargement sigmoido cystoplasty 1. There were 7 failures: 4 stenoses and 1 reflux. These failures required treatment by trans-uretero-ureterostomy (3 successes out of 4). The insertion of a trans-anastomotic catheter during the postoperative period is strongly advised
