Abstract

The authors carried out the cystoplasty by regeneration to a 24 year-old female of tuberculous contracted bladder with artificial bladder. The artificial bladder was prepared by using nobecutane-sprayed paper, which was designed by repetition of Nobecutane spraying and drying. The artificial bladder was subjected to a crucial incision on the dome and a No. 10 porous catheter was inserted from the urethra into the bladder. The artificial bladder was sutured with the original incised one with a margin of 1 Cm using 3-0 chromic catgut. The authors observed for 2 months postoperatively. The following results were obtained. 1. The artificial bladder fell off completely in the bladder in 34 days after the cystoplasty, which was extirpated transurethrally. 2. The bladder capacity was about 30 cc before the operation. Following the cystoplasty, it increased up to 180-220 cc by the 50th postoperative day, and the frequency of urination was 8 times in day and 3 times in night.
