Sigmoido-Cystoplasty

Colocystoplasty for the Treatment of Severe Interstitial Cystitis

“…Colocystoplasty was performed using 20-25 cm of sigmoid co lon as a patch [8,16] in 5 patients and the caecum and ascending colon in 7 patients, in the last 2 of which a detubularized right colonic segment was used, as described by Goldwasser et al [7], In the other 5 a non-detubularized caecum and ascending colon were used, turning the segment 180° and anastomosing it to the bladder. The bladder was resected down to within 1 cm of the trigonum, leaving a slightly larger margin around the ureteric orifices in order to avoid compromising the antireflux mechanism [9].…”

Bladder augmentation and urinary diversion in patients with neurogenic bladder: Surgical considerations

“…Sigmoid colon has been used for bladder augmentation since the beginning of the 20th century [35,36] and was used as a detubularized patch in the 1950s [37]. Disadvantages of the sigmoid colon are its strong autonomic contractions and mucus production, and an advantage is the technical ease of anastomosing it to the bladder.…”

Sigmoidocystoplasty: a Follow-Up Study

“…Later Baker et al (1) performed a vesico-colic anastomo sis after ureterosigmoidostomy in a young man with good results. In 1955 Mathisen (11) described his open-loop sigmoidocystoplasty, and found it satisfactory. The same conclusion was later sus tained by Baker et al (2), Bourque (4), Charghi et al (5), Gil-Vernet (6), Goodwin and Winter (7), Hradec (8), and Küss et al (10).…”

“…The purpose of the present paper is to follow up patients operated by open-loop sigmoidocysto plasty (11).…”

“…After opening and resecting the bladder, the bowel graft was sutured to the bladder by two layers of interrupted sutures, starting with the posterior sutures of the muscular coat. The blad der was drained by a urethral catheter for 2 weeks (11). Results 36 patients were followed up.…”
