Summary

The Mitrofanoff principle for continent urinary diversion is a versatile technique applicable to various urological conditions, achieving a 91% continence rate. However, patients and surgeons must anticipate significant revision rates for the catheterizing conduit.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Innovation
  • Continent Urinary Diversion

Background:

  • The Mitrofanoff principle, originally for appendicovesicostomy, offers a method for continent urinary diversion.
  • Its application has been expanded to address diverse urological conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To demonstrate the adaptability and success of the Mitrofanoff principle across various urological conditions.
  • To evaluate the efficacy and complication rates associated with different surgical techniques and urinary reservoirs.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective review of 100 consecutive patients (105 procedures) between 1985 and 1993.
  • Utilized seven distinct catheterizing conduit types and six urinary reservoir variations for seven uropathy categories.

Main Results:

  • Achieved a 91% continence rate at a median 30-month follow-up.
  • Reported a 33% re-operation rate for conduit complications.
  • Found no correlation between uropathy type, conduit/reservoir choice, or patient age and continence or complication rates.

Conclusions:

  • The Mitrofanoff principle is a versatile and predictable technique for continent urinary diversion in a broad spectrum of urological issues.
  • Highlight the necessity for patients and surgeons to be aware of the substantial revision rates associated with the catheterizing conduit to ensure long-term continence.
