This study introduces a novel endoscopic cystoplasty technique to increase bladder capacity in patients with a microbladder and dilated ureter. The described minimally invasive procedure effectively augmented bladder function, with the patient remaining asymptomatic 20 months post-operation.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Gastrointestinal Surgery

Background:

  • A patient presented with a microbladder and a significantly dilated left ureter following a right-side nephrectomy for tuberculosis.
  • Conventional treatments for microbladder and ureteral dilation often involve complex surgical interventions.

Observation:

  • A novel endoscopic cystoplasty technique was performed using five trocars for access.
  • The procedure involved freeing bladder walls, sectioning the ureter, and utilizing an isolated intestinal segment for ureteroplasty.
  • Anastomosis of the ureter to the intestinal segment and subsequent fixation to the bladder were achieved using endoscopic staplers.

Findings:

  • The endoscopic cystoplasty effectively increased the patient's bladder capacity.

  • The patient experienced a significant improvement in diurnal micturition intervals, exceeding 3 hours.
  • Long-term follow-up at 20 months showed the patient remained asymptomatic.

    • Implications:

    • This technique offers a potentially less invasive approach for bladder augmentation in select cases.
    • Endoscopic cystoplasty may provide a viable solution for managing complex urological conditions involving bladder and ureteral abnormalities.
    • Further research is warranted to evaluate the broader applicability and long-term outcomes of this endoscopic technique.
