Efferent Tube Suspension as a Continent Diversion Mechanism: A Preliminary Report of a Clinical Study

Abstract: This study suggests that the continent mechanism of the tapered ileum can be greatly enhanced by a suspension technique. This maneuver also provides easy catheterization and surgical simplicity.

“…Several variations have been developed since. Its acclaimed versatility allows the use of several tissues and structures such as the vermiform appendix, ureter, small and large bowels, Fallopian tubes, foreskin, skin flaps, stomach, and bladder wall [3–6,8,9,28,29]. Without a doubt, the appendix flap valve is the most popular variation of the Mitrofanoff procedure.…”

“…Clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) introduced by Lapides (1972) and the Mitrofanoff procedure (1980) revolutionized the management of urinary incontinence. Many structures have been proposed in an attempt to create continent conduits similar to the appendix following the Mitrofanoff principle . Regardless of the type of conduit used, failure due to incontinence is reported in around 10% of cases in the literature …”
