Abstract:
In a patient who had undergone construction of a continent ileal pouch we successfully repaired an incontinent ileal tube by infolding it in an imbricated portion of the ileal pouch wall. For 2 years postoperatively the patient has been urine continent and has catheterized the pouch easily. We believe this infolding technique is useful for reconstructing the continent mechanism in patients with incompetent ileal valves.
