The Mainz pouch offers a low pressure reservoir of adequate capacity, antirefluxing ureteral implantation and continent reservoir for bladder augmentation and continent diversion. Reconstruction of a urinary reservoir using a Mainz pouch was performed on 2 patients in 1987. The Mainz pouch was used for bladder augmentation in one patient and for continent urinary diversion in other one. The operative technique and clinical results are described.
