Bladder transection surgery effectively treated urinary frequency and enuresis in most patients. This procedure offers a viable alternative to enterocystoplasty for selected individuals.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Procedures

Background:

  • Urinary frequency and enuresis are common conditions requiring effective treatment.
  • Enterocystoplasty is one surgical option, but it carries potential complications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of bladder transection for treating enuresis and urinary frequency.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective study of 12 patients who underwent open bladder transection.
  • Patients were followed up for an average of 37 months post-surgery.

Main Results:

  • Overall, 10 out of 12 patients showed improvement (3 cured, 7 better).
  • No patients experienced worsening of their condition.
  • All six patients with preoperative enuresis were successfully cured.

Conclusions:

  • Bladder transection is a beneficial surgical option for selected patients with enuresis and urinary frequency.
  • This method effectively avoids complications associated with enterocystoplasty.
