The use of bladder neck reconstruction in bladder exstrophy

A major goal of bladder exstrophy (BE) management is achieving urinary continence, most commonly with surgical bladder neck reconstruction (BNR). This is a report of outcome of BNR after complete primary repair of exstrophy (CPRE). At our institution, patient history, ultrasound, cystogram (VCUG) and urodynamic study (UDS) were performed during a prospective evaluation of patients with BE. Dry interval of >3 hours was used as the definition of continence and dry interval <1-hour incontinence. Bladder capacity was measured at VCUG and/or UDS. UDS was also used to assess bladder compliance. From 1994 to 2010, we cared for 47 BE patients (31 male, 15 female) after CPRE. For patients ≥3 years after CPRE, BNR was performed in 9 of 22 (41%) male and 3 of 11 (27%) female patients. Mean age at BNR was 6.3 and 5.9 years for male and female patients, respectively. The mean (±SD) bladder capacity pre-BNR was 104.8 (±20.4 mL). There was a significant increase in capacity from pre-BNR to ≥1.5 years post-BNR (P = 0.013) and from <1.5 and ≥1.5 years post-BNR (P = 0.002). In conclusion, most patients with BE require BNR after CPRE. The need for BNR is more common in male patients.     

Role of urethral bulking agents in epispadias–exstrophy complex patients

ObjectiveInjection of urethral bulking agents (UBA) has been used to increase bladder capacity prior to bladder neck reconstruction (BNR) or as an adjuvant therapy following BNR to improve continence. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of urethral injections in the exstrophy population.Materials and methodsA review was performed of patient characteristics, bladder capacity, and continence status of all patients with the exstrophy–epispadias complex who underwent injection of UBA between 1980 and 2008.ResultsAmong 66 patients with a median follow-up of 8 years, 41 underwent injections prior to BNR, and 25 had injections after BNR. Only 24% of patients who underwent injections prior to BNR were continent on last follow-up. Among 25 patients who underwent BNR prior to injection(s), 16 were partially continent and nine were incontinent prior to first injection. Patients who were partially continent attained social continence (dry interval greater than 3 h) at a significantly higher rate than those who were incontinent (63% vs. 13%, p = 0.047). No patient with cloacal exstrophy in either group attained urethral continence.ConclusionUBAs do not appear to have a role prior to BNR. However, they may provide benefit when given adjunctively following BNR in patients who are partially continent.     

Bladder capacity as a predictor of voided continence after failed exstrophy closure

ObjectiveTo evaluate potential predictors of voided continence among bladder exstrophy patients with a history of a failed closure.Patients and methodsThe authors reviewed all patients who underwent a bladder neck reconstruction (BNR) with a history of one or more failed exstrophy closures between 1979 and 2007. The following data were collected for each patient: number of failures, site of surgery, mode of failure, presence of osteotomy, bladder capacity, need for additional procedures, and continence status.ResultsAmong patients who underwent successful reclosure following one or more failed closures, 52 patients underwent BNR, and 24 (46%) were continent at last follow-up. Bladder capacity was the only variable predictive of voided continence. The median bladder capacity at the time of BNR differed between those who achieved continence (100 mL) and those who did not (65 mL) (p = 0.005). ROC analysis showed an optimal pre-BNR bladder capacity cutoff for predicting future BNR success of between 80 and 100 mL.ConclusionAs previously shown in patients with successful primary closure of exstrophy, these data suggest that bladder capacity also has predictive value in the success of BNR after failed exstrophy closure.     

Urodynamic evaluation in boys treated for posterior urethral valves

This study describes the urodynamic findings in 22 patients with posterior urethral valves and discusses their association with urinary incontinence, age, mode of primary treatment, renal function, and changes in the upper tracts. The patients' ages ranged from 3 to 26 years and 27% were either adolescents or older. The urodynamic findings were categorized into 5 main patterns, although mixed patterns were also observed; (1) normal capacity and compliance with normal detrusor contractility (2/22 patients, 9.1%); (2) small-capacity, hypocompliant bladder (8/22 patients, 36.4%); (3) unstable bladder (2/22 patients, 9.1%); (4) large-capacity, hypotonic bladder with decreased detrusor contractility (2/22 patients, 9.1%); and (5) normal capacity and compliance but with decreased detrusor contractility (8/22 patients, 36.4%). More than one-half of the patients (57.1%) evacuated their bladders incompletely, and this seemed to be associated with post-treatment episodes of urinary-tract infection. The commonest symptom was daytime frequency, urgency, and leak with nocturnal enuresis, which urodynamically correlated with a small-capacity, hypocompliant or unstable bladder or to incomplete evacuation of the bladder, leading to significant post-void residue. Significant detrusor dysfunction was identified in 2 asymptomatic patients as well, emphasizing the need to perform a routine urodynamic work-up on all valve patients. Urodynamic properties seemed to be associated with age. Small, hypocompliant, and unstable bladders were almost always seen in prepubertal boys and in the first 5 years following undiversion, whereas large, hypotonic bladders with impaired contractility were seen in post-pubertal boys. While the current policy is to avoid high diversion, data in this study suggest that disorders of detrusor capacity, compliance, and contractility exist in children treated by primary valve ablation and vesicostomy and that abnormal detrusor dynamics seem to be a reflection of inherent developmental detrusor dysfunction consequent to congenital infravesical obstruction.

Micturition habits and incontinence in 7-year-old Swedish school entrants

The prevalence of incontinence in children has been extensively studied, but knowledge of other bladder symptoms is lacking in a healthy child population. The micturition habits of 3556 7-year-old school entrants were surveyed by a questionnaire supplemented by telephone interviews. One or more symptoms of a disturbed bladder function was reported in 26%, but most of these had moderate urgency as a sign of incomplete voluntary bladder control. Isolated bedwetting occurred in 2.8% of the girls and 7.0% of the boys, whereas nocturnal incontinence combined with daytime wetting was equally common in both sexes, 2.3% and 2.0% respectively. Diurnal incontinence was reported in 6.0% of the girls and 3.8% of the boys and was usually combined with other symptoms. The frequency of micturition in children without symptoms of bladder disturbance and with no previous urinary tract infection was 3–7 times per day.     

Radical soft tissue mobilization and reconstruction (Kelly procedure) for bladder exstrophy repair in males: initial experience with nine cases

Purpose  to report the early experience with the Kelly procedure for the treatment of bladder exstrophy (BE) in males. Materials and methods  Nine boys with BE were treated at our institute. One had an untouched BE, four had epispadias after neonatal bladder closure, and four were secondary phalloplasties. Data on surgical complications, continence status, presence of erections and parental satisfaction with penile appearance and length are reported. Results  Mean patient age was 4.7 (1–8.9) years. No intra-operative complications occurred. Two secondary cases experienced formation of a bladder-neck fistula and glans ischemia, respectively. The latter led to glans loss. All the patients had some residual degree of hypospadias after surgery. After a median follow-up of 18.1 (10–22) months, one patient developed chronic bladder outlet obstruction. Overall, five patients are dry (including two on clear intermittent catheterization and one with a Minz II pouch). The other four are still younger than 3 years, all have spontaneous micturitions and dry interval between 30 and 120 min. Of the eight patients without phalloplasty complications, all had erections, and parents judged the penile length and appearance as being satisfactory in six cases. Conclusion  The Kelly procedure is feasible in a vast array of BE patients, but may be formidable, especially in secondary phalloplasties. It allows for complete reconfiguration and lightening of the penis, but exposes to potentially catastrophic complications, such as partial or complete penile loss. Longer follow-up is needed to assess the results in terms of continence.     

The use of an intra vesical silicon inflatable baloon device improves results of bladder autoaugmentation technique. Long term follow up

PurposeTo present the long-term RESULTS of bladder autoaugmentation in children with low compliant neurogenic bladders comparing the usual technique with a modified technique using an intra vesical silicon inflatable balloon device.Material and MethodsTwenty-two patients with low-compliant neurogenic bladders and incontinence confirmed urodynamically were divided in two groups. Group I (12 patients) underwent autoaugmentation using the classical detrusorectomy approach. Group II (10 patients) underwent autoaugmentation associated to an intra vesical silicon inflatable device filled with saline solution customized to allow urine elimination and sustain partial bladder distention.ResultsFollow up ranged from 2 to 11 years (mean 4 years). Patients in Group I showed unsatisfactory RESULTS, with only one patient achieving continence using clean intermittent catheterization (CIC). Four patients showed mild improve on urodynamic parameters. Patients in group II showed encouraging RESULTS. Six patients achieved continence with CIC. Two patients achieved continence using CIC and anticholinergic agents. Bladder capacity had a mean increase of approximately 71% and bladder compliance mean increased from 15.6 ± 16.8 ml/cmH2O to 34.3 ± 22.8 ml/cmH2O (p = 0.02). Two patients with previously dilated upper urinary tract showed a decrease in the grade of dilatation.ConclusionsBladder autoaugmentation using an intra vesical silicon inflatable balloon device showed better RESULTS compared to the usual autoaugmentation technique. The presented device didn't add morbidity to the surgical procedure. This technique can be used in selected patients in order to improve urodynamic parameters and continence without the potential disadvantages of using bowel segments for bladder augmentation.     

Bladder augmentation and/or continent urinary diversion: 10-year experience.

OBJECTIVE: We evaluated the success and the long-term complications associated with augmentation cystoplasty and/or continent urinary diversion in children with urinary incontinence due to neurogenic or malformed bladder. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The records of 23 patients (12 females, 11 males) who underwent such procedures between 1994 and 2004 were reviewed retrospectively. The most common type of augmentation cystoplasty was ileocystoplasty. The most common type of conduit for the urinary continent diversion was appendicovesicostomy. Combined bladder neck closure was not performed systematically. Neocystoureterostomy was done in 14 refluxing ureters. RESULTS: Of the 21 patients who underwent augmentation cystoplasty, only one was incontinent after the procedure and required reconstruction of the bladder neck using the Young-Dees procedure. The most common complications were stomal stenosis and bladder stone formation. CONCLUSION: Augmentation cystoplasty and continent urinary diversion procedures can increase the functional capacity of the small bladder and allow the majority of patients to achieve continence while preserving renal function. Combined bladder neck closure is not necessary to obtain urinary continence; on the contrary, it eliminates a useful pop-off mechanism. Neocystouretrostomy is not required for every refluxing ureter unless it can be performed on the original bladder. Bladder stones and stomal stenosis are the most significant long-term complications in these patients.     

小儿原发性夜间遗尿症尿动力学评价的初步探讨

目的 探讨小儿原发性夜间遗尿症的病因和膀胱功能改变。方法 本组63例，男39例，女24例。在清醒和自然睡眠相进行充盈期膀胱压力容积测定，记录睡眠相盆底肌电活动变化。结果 58例存在膀胱功能紊乱，多种异常合并为五种模式。其中，睡眠相逼尿肌不稳定收缩占71.4%(45/63)，睡眠相膀胱最大测量容量下降占36.5%(23/63)。睡眠相逼尿肌不稳定收缩出现时，逼尿肌与盆底肌肉协同失调者11例。结论 逼尿肌不稳定收缩是遗尿发生的主要原因，盆底肌肉与逼尿肌的协同失调可能是原因之一，膀胱容量下降是逼尿肌不稳定收缩所致的遗尿结果而不是原因。     

Long-term follow-up of male patients after reconstruction of the bladder–exstrophy–epispadias complex: Psychosocial status,continence, renal and genital function

ObjectiveThere is a paucity of knowledge about long-term outcome issues in the bladder–exstrophy–epispadias complex (BEEC). Adult male BEEC patients were investigated in respect of bladder and renal function, fertility, genital function and psychosocial facts.Patients and methodsIn a cross-sectional study, 17 adult male BEEC patients (mean age 23.4 years) from a single centre were evaluated with a questionnaire, renal and bladder ultrasound, blood tests, hormonal profile and semen analysis.ResultsPhenotypically one patient had complete epispadias and 16 had classical bladder exstrophy. Five patients underwent a one-stage functional reconstruction as a primary and 12 as a redo procedure. After a mean follow-up of 19.4 years, 15 bladders were preserved with 12 voiding per urethram and 3 performing intermittent catheterization; 2 were secondarily diverted. Significant residual urine was present in 10; kidneys were normal in 14 patients. Sixteen patients proved ejaculations, 3 had normospermia, 7 oligoasthenospermia and 6 azospermia. In patients with only one single bladder neck procedure normospermia was statistically significant.ConclusionAfter functional BEEC reconstruction, long-term bladder function is preserved with mostly normal renal function. The number of bladder neck attempts has a significant influence on andrologic outcome. Detailed analysis may detect multifactorial pathogenesis from the impaired sperm quality in the BEEC.     

Blasenschulung bei Kindern mit funktioneller Harninkontinenz

Background

Daytime and/or nighttime wetting as a consequence of functional urinary incontinence is a common problem in childhood. Various treatment options exist, including cognitive-behavioural “bladder training.” The objective of this prospective study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a bladder training program.

Methods

Sixty children (ages 8–12 years) suffering from urge incontinence or dysfunctional voiding were evaluated. After a no-treatment control period (average length 6 months), patients underwent a 6-day bladder training course that was offered on either an inpatient or outpatient basis. Clinical assessments were recorded at the beginning of the control period, upon training entry, at training completion, and after 1 (inpatient training group only), 3, and 6 months.

Results

Six months after completion of training, 64.1% (inpatient training) and 64.7% (outpatient training) of children showing daytime wetting and 51.5% (inpatient) and 17.7% (outpatient) of children presenting with nighttime wetting were cured or had improved. The spontaneous cure rate during the 6-month control period was 0–20.5%. In inpatient patients with urge incontinence, the functional bladder capacity increased (+15%). Inpatient children aged 9–12 years showed significantly higher cure rates than 8-year-olds did.

Conclusions

In comparison to the control period, the bladder training program evaluated in this study showed significantly higher success rates. Cure and improvement rates for daytime wetting were higher than for nighttime wetting. Concerning nighttime wetting, the results lead to the assumption that children treated in the inpatient training succeeded better than those receiving outpatient training.     

Detrusorectomy reduces the need for augmentation and use of antimuscarinics in children with neuropathic bladders

ObjectiveTo assess bladder behaviour and long-term outcome after detrusorectomy in children.Material and methodsBetween 1990 and 2001, 49 detrusorectomies were performed (mean follow-up: 9.6 years) in children with neuropathic bladders (mean age at surgery: 9.8 years). Urodynamic study (UDS) was done before surgery (pre-UDS) and after surgery (UDS-1 and UDS-2). Bladder behaviour was assessed as good, fair or poor depending on the volume and intravesical pressure. In all patients, oxybutynin and clean intermittent catheterization were used preoperatively. In 24 patients, good bladder compliance and capacity were seen before detrusorectomy.ResultsGood and fair outcomes were observed in 35 (71%) patients at 1 year and in 39 (79%) patients 6 years after detrusorectomy. In 30 (60%) patients, there was hardly any difference between the first and second follow-up. In 9 (18%) patients, formal bowel bladder augmentation was necessary: in 6 (12%) because of poor compliance and in 3 because of small bladder volume and incontinence. Seven patients improved during follow-up, 5 of them after resuming oxybutynin. In 11 patients, oxybutynin could be stopped, and in 2 the dosage could be reduced to once daily.ConclusionsThe good short-term results of detrusorectomy generally remain unchanged at long-term follow-up. Detrusorectomy can reduce the need for antimuscarinics, and the need for formal bladder augmentation in selected cases.     

Repeated injections of intradetrusor onabotulinumtoxinA as adjunctive treatment of children with neurogenic bladder

Aim

To evaluate the effects of repeated injections of onabotulinumtoxinA in children with neurogenic bladders refractory to conventional treatment.

Patients and methods

A total of 26 children with neurogenic bladder were prospectively studied. Some patients received up to four repeat injections. Patients were reinjected if they showed improvement in voiding diary, score of urinary incontinence and/or urodynamic studies; otherwise, augmentation cystoplasty was indicated.

Results

Of the 26 patients, 12 were reinjected a second time, 6 patients were reinjected a third time and 2 patients received a repeat injection for the fourth time. Six months after the first, second and third injection, the urinary incontinence score 0 (dry) was 50, 77 and 75 %, respectively. After each injection, the mean bladder capacity in voiding diary and the mean maximum cystometric capacity increased. The mean detrusor pressure at the end of filling decreased. Only compliance after the first injection improved significantly. Detrusor overactivity (n: 4), improved during 3 months and reappeared in three children after the first injection, but at greater cystometric volumes. In the fourth case, it reappeared 11 months after the third injection. Five patients underwent cystoplasty.

Conclusion

After treatment with onabotulinumtoxinA, urinary continence achieved was 50–77 %. There were favorable changes in urodynamic variables, but they were insufficient. Detrusor overactivity was attenuated, but did not disappear completely.     

膀胱顺应性对神经源性膀胱活动低下儿童清洁间歇导尿的影响

目的 初步探讨膀胱顺应性对神经源性膀胱活动低下(NUB)儿童自我清洁间歇导尿(CISC)的并发症和膀胱功能发育影响.方法 选取经尿动力学证实为NUB的学龄儿童109例进行CIFCS治疗,最终成功对93例(85%)进行2年随访.依据开始CISC膀胱顺应性(BC)分为正常顺应性组[49例,男30例,女19例,平均年龄(6.3±0.9岁)]和低顺应性组[44例,男29例,女15例,平均年龄(7.0±1.0岁)].比较二组随访2年后尿动力学参数和随访过程中并发症发生情况.结果CISC 2年随访时正常顺应性组最大膀胱压测定容量(MCC)和相对安全容量(RSCC)显著高于CISC治疗前,而低顺应性组RSCC显著低于治疗前.逼尿肌漏尿点压(DLPP)显著高于治疗前(P<0.05).同时,随访时低顺应性组BC、MCC和RSCC显著低于正常顺应性组,DLPP显著高于正常顺应性组(P<0.05).随访时菌尿和膀胱输尿管反流以及随访过程中出现发热性泌尿系感染和肉眼血尿发生率分别为33.3%(31例)、12.9%(12例)、24.7%(23例)和15.1%(14例).其中,低顺应性组发热性泌尿系感染和膀胱输尿管反流发生率均显著高于正常顺应性组(P<0.05).结论 膀胱顺应性可以影响NUB患儿CISC的并发症和膀胱发育,低顺应性患儿膀胱发育多进行性恶化,应进行严密随访监测.     

Modern staged repair of bladder exstrophy: a contemporary series

ObjectiveMany changes have occurred in the treatment of bladder exstrophy over the last few years and many repairs are now offered. The purpose of this study was to evaluate long-term outcomes in a select group of patients in whom modern staged repair (MSRE) was undertaken.Patients and methodsFrom an institutionally approved database were extracted 189 patients who had undergone primary closure between 1988 and 2004. The records of 131 patients (95 males) who underwent MSRE with a modified Cantwell-Ransley repair by a single surgeon in 1988–2004 were reviewed with a minimum 5-year follow up.ResultsSixty-seven patients with a mean age of 2 months (range 6 h to 4 months) underwent primary closure, and 18 underwent osteotomy at the same time. Mean age at epispadias repair was 18 months (8–24). Mean age at bladder neck reconstruction (BNR) was 4.8 years (40–60 months) with a mean capacity of 98 cc (75–185). Analysis of bladder capacity prior to BNR revealed that patients with a mean capacity greater than 85 cc median had better outcomes. Seventy percent (n = 47) are continent day and night and voiding per urethra without augmentation or intermittent catheterization. Social continence defined as dry for more than 3 h during the day was found in 10% (n = 7). Six patients required continent diversion after failed BNR. Seven patients are completely incontinent. The mean time to daytime continence was 14 months (4–23) and the mean time to night-time continence was 23 months (11–34). No correlation was found between age at BNR and continence.ConclusionsPatients with a good bladder template who develop sufficient bladder capacity after successful primary closure and epispadias repair can achieve acceptable continence without bladder augmentation and intermittent catheterization.     

Covered exstrophy associated with an anorectal malformation: A rare variant of classical bladder exstrophy

We report the case of a male newborn with covered bladder exstrophy, high anorectal malformation, and rectourethral fistula. The child had a split symphysis and diverging rectus muscles in the infraumbilical region. The ventral part of the bladder was covered with thin, fragile skin and some portions of the bladder bulged out as abdominal-wall hernias. Two of these hernias were located just above the penis, and the overlying skin showed a resemblance to scrotal skin. The penis was small and slightly laterally displaced, but otherwise normal; the child also had unilateral reflux into a dysplastic left kidney. The bladder neck and posterior urethra were patulous, but there was no urinary incontinence. The child underwent a singlestage reconstruction of the exstrophic lesion and a staged repair of the anorectal malformation. The clinical significance of this entity is discussed and the literature reviewed.     

Depth of sleep and sleep habits among enuretic and incontinent children

In order to evaluate differences in sleep factors between children with wetting problems and dry children, questionnaire data were obtained from 1,413 schoolchildren between the ages of 6 and 10 y. The analyses were performed using logistic regression, and adjusted odds ratios (ORs) were calculated to approximate the relative risk. Current enuresis was associated with a subjectively high arousal threshold, pavor nocturnus, nocturia and confusion when awoken from sleep (ORs 2.7, 2.4, 2.1 and 3.4, respectively), whereas children with current incontinence often experienced bedtime fears, onset insomnia or nocturia (ORs 2.4, 2.3 and 2.7, respectively). Children exhibiting urinary urgency were overrepresented among both children with current enuresis (OR 2.5) and those with current incontinence (OR 17.2). It is concluded that impaired arousal mechanisms and bladder instability are aetiological factors underlying nocturnal enuresis.     

New hydronephrosis and/or vesicoureteral reflux after bladder outlet surgery without augmentation in 75 children with neurogenic bladder

ObjectiveWe report new upper tract changes in children after bladder neck (BN) surgery without augmentation for neurogenic incontinence.Materials and methodsConsecutive children with neurogenic sphincteric incompetency had BN surgery without augmentation. Postoperative renal sonography and fluoroscopic urodynamics were done at 6 months, 12 months, and then annually.ResultsThere were 75 patients with mean follow-up of 48 months. Of these, 17 (23%) developed new hydronephrosis (HN) or vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). All HN resolved with medical management, as did 25% of VUR cases. Persistent VUR was treated by dextranomer/hyaluronic acid injection, or re-implantation in two patients undergoing re-operative BN surgery. There was no association between these upper tract changes and end filling pressures (<40 cm vs. >40 cm) or continence status (dry vs. wet).ConclusionsUpper tract changes developed in 25% of patients with neurogenic bladders after BN surgery without augmentation during a follow-up of 48 months. All new HN and most new VUR resolved with medical management or minimally invasive intervention. No patient developed upper tract changes requiring augmentation.     

Treatment with modified intravesical oxybutynin chloride for neurogenic bladder in children

ObjectiveWe have previously reported that intravesical oxybutynin chloride with hydroxypropylcellulose (modified intravesical oxybutynin) is an effective therapeutic agent for patients with detrusor overactivity. In this study, we report on the efficacy, safety and side effects of modified intravesical oxybutynin administration in children with neurogenic bladder.PatientsModified intravesical oxybutynin (1.25 mg/5 mL, twice a day) was administered to four children (three males and one female) with neurogenic bladder (detrusor overactivity and/or low compliance bladder), who were previously unresponsive to or experienced intolerable side effects from oral medications. A cystometrogram was obtained before, 1 week after, and 1 year after the first intravesical instillation of modified oxybutynin. We also carefully observed anticholinergic side effects, occurrence of urinary tract infection and degree of incontinence during this treatment.ResultsAfter 1 week, both cystometric bladder capacity and compliance were improved in all patients, and detrusor overactivity was undetectable in three of four patients. At 1 year, there was further improvement in bladder compliance in three patients, and detrusor overactivity was not observed in two patients. Significant improvement in the degree of incontinence was achieved. No systemic anticholinergic side effects were observed in any of the patients. One patient with vesicoureteral reflux discontinued the therapy after 2 months due to upper urinary tract infections.ConclusionModified intravesical oxybutynin is an effective and relatively safe therapeutic option for children with neurogenic bladders.     

神经源性膀胱扩大术远期疗效观察

目的 评价保留膀胱黏膜的双层肠管浆肌层膀胱扩大术的远期疗效.方法 病例选择条件:术前有明确支配膀胱的神经性损害,膀胱容量明显小于同龄儿童的正常值,同时伴有Ⅳ度以上膀胱输尿管反流,经过一段时间的口服抗胆碱能药物、清洁间歇导尿等保守治疗后,膀胱内压仍然较高,输尿管反流无明显改善,我们对符合上述条件的75例神经源性膀胱患儿行切除部分逼尿肌保留膀胱黏膜的双层肠浆肌层膀胱扩大术,同时根据患儿的具体情况选择性联合应用膀胱输尿管移植抗反流、膀胱颈紧缩、膀胱颈悬吊等手术方式,术后对患儿进行长期随访,对手术前后临床症状、肾脏功能、尿流动力学(膀胱容量、残余尿、逼尿肌压和顺应性)等方面进行评价.结果 75例手术患儿中68例获得随访,随访时间平均4.3年,术后无一例发生肾脏功能衰竭,45例获得一定的临床治疗改善.23例术后在尿流动力学、临床症状方面无明显改善.结论 术后膀胱容量不能有效扩大是导致术后疗效不理想的重要原因,保留膀胱黏膜的双层肠浆肌层膀胱扩大术是治疗神经源性膀胱的一种方法,但该方法有待改进.
