Abstract:
Answering the need for a simple, nonenteric method of increasing bladder capacity, this article offers a new laparoscopic procedure for autoaugmentation of the bladder in children. An outline of the technical design is given. Experience with seven children is delineated. Postoperative voiding control and function capacity were greatly improved; this procedure is judged worthy of addition to the surgical armamentarium.
