Objective:
The authors evaluated the results of augmentation ileocystoplasty in patients presenting with neurogenic urinary incontinence.
Materials And Methods:
A prospective study was conducted in 36 patients (25 women, 11 men) 30 of whom simultaneously underwent a bladder neck continence procedure. The mean follow-up was 32.2 months.
Results:
Daytime continence was obtained in 32 patients (88.8%). Thirty patients (83.3%) were continent a night. The upper urinary tract did not deteriorate. One patient developed bladder stones and 2 presented a vesical perforation. Urodynamic studies showed an increased functional bladder capacity and compliance (p < 0.001) and loss of uninhibited bladder contractions.
Conclusion:
Augmentation ileocystoplasty is an effective and reliable surgical procedure after failure of conservative management. However, long-term complications can occur and regular surveillance is necessary.
