Laparoscopic seromyotomy (auto-augmentation) for non-neurogenic neurogenic bladder in a child: initial case report

An eight-year-old boy with lifelong urinary incontinence secondary to non-neurogenic neurogenic bladder underwent successful laparoscopic seromyotomy (auto-augmentation) with resultant cure of his incontinence. The ability to perform this laparoscopically with its seventy-minute operating time, decreased hospital stay, and improved cosmesis militates for its consideration before a standard augmentation is performed.
