Abstract

A variety of surgical techniques for augmentation cystoplasty have been developed. To evaluate the clinical availability of the augmentation cystoplasty using the Mainz pouch, We reviewed 8 patients with tuberculous contracted bladder who underwent construction of a Mainz pouch. Preoperative frequency was dramatically improved in all of 8 patients. Mean bladder capacity increased from 36 ml preoperatively to 534ml postoperatively. On the uroradiologic study, preoperative hydronephrosis was improved or stable in 9 of l0 renal units and was aggravated in 1 renal unit. Preoperative vesicoureteral reflux disappeared in all of 3 patients. Urodynamic study revealed mean residual urine of 70ml and maximal intravesical pressure during contraction of 65cmH2O after cystoplasty. There were no significant complications which required surgical revision.
