Laparoscopic SIS bladder reconstruction and ureteral reimplantation into the SIS after hemicystectomy are technically feasible. However, compared to primary bladder closure no advantage in bladder capacity or compliance was documented.
In this pilot study the use of self-reinforced PLGA biodegradable ureteral stents was feasible after Acucise endopyelotomy in a porcine model with radiographic and fluid flow results that were relatively similar to those of standard 7Fr stents but with less favorable biocompatibility.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
