[Bladder psoas hitch. Report of 11 cases]
1Dpto. de Cirugía Pediátrica, Hospital Infantil, Vall d'Hebrón, Barcelona.
Summary
The bladder psoas hitch technique effectively bridges short ureters in complex cases, enabling successful vesico-ureteral reimplantation after multiple prior failures. This surgical approach offers a viable solution for challenging reconstructive urology scenarios.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Surgical Techniques
- Reconstructive Surgery
Context:
- Management of complex bladder and ureteral issues.
- Addressing challenges in vesico-ureteral reimplantation and undiversion.
- Cases with repeated surgical failures requiring advanced solutions.
Purpose:
- To describe the bladder psoas hitch surgical technique.
- To evaluate its efficacy in bridging ureteral shortness.
- To present outcomes in patients with complex reconstructive needs.
Summary:
- The bladder psoas hitch is a surgical maneuver designed to overcome ureteral length deficits.
- This technique facilitates successful vesico-ureteral reimplantation, particularly after prior reconstructive failures.
- The study details the surgical steps and reviews results from 11 patient cases.
Impact:
- Provides a solution for challenging ureteral reconstruction cases.
- Improves outcomes in patients with recurrent vesico-ureteral reimplantation failure.
- Offers a valuable technique for urologists managing complex congenital or acquired uropathies.
