|July 1, 1981
Summary
Sigmoidocystoplasty surgery effectively increased bladder capacity in adult enuresis patients. Most patients reported high satisfaction with the long-term results of this bladder augmentation procedure.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Surgical Procedures
- Pediatric Surgery
Background:
- Adult enuresis can significantly impact quality of life.
- Small bladder capacity is a common contributing factor to enuresis.
- Surgical interventions are considered when conservative treatments fail.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the efficacy of sigmoidocystoplasty in increasing bladder capacity.
- To assess patient satisfaction following sigmoidocystoplasty for enuresis.
Main Methods:
- Sigmoidocystoplasty was performed on 13 adult patients diagnosed with enuresis.
- Eleven patients participated in a follow-up study.
- The mean follow-up duration was 29.5 months (range: 13-66 months).
Main Results:
- The procedure aimed to augment small bladder capacity.
- Ninety percent of patients reported satisfaction with the surgical outcome.
- The study demonstrates a high success rate in improving bladder function.
Conclusions:
- Sigmoidocystoplasty is a viable surgical option for adults with enuresis due to small bladder capacity.
- The procedure offers significant long-term benefits and high patient satisfaction.
- This bladder augmentation technique effectively addresses refractory enuresis.
