CONVERSION FROM COLONIC OR ILEAL CONDUIT TO CONTINENT CUTANEOUS URINARY DIVERSION
2004
ABSTRACT Purpose: After ileal or colonic conduit diversion some patients, particularly adolescents, desire conversion to a continent diversion to improve quality of life. We report our long-term results on conversion from conduit diversion to continent cutaneous diversion. Materials and Methods: Between 1986 and 2001, 39 patients (mean age 24 years, range 6 to 49) underwent conversion from a colonic (21) or ileal conduit (18) to an ileocecal pouch (Mainz pouch I) with a mean followup of 102 months (range 18 to 192). Conversion was performed after a mean of 11 years (range 1 to 36) of conduit urinary diversion by incorporating the preexisting colonic/ ileal conduit and the ileocecal pouch. R…
100 cases of Mainz pouch: continuing experience and evolution.
1988
The surgical technique for creation of the Mainz pouch uses 10 to 15 cm. of cecum and ascending colon and 2 ileal loops of the same length for construction of a urinary reservoir. Initial applications of the Mainz pouch were for bladder augmentation after subtotal cystectomy and for continent urinary diversion. Current indications have been extended to complete bladder substitution after radical cystoprostatectomy with anastomosis of the pouch to the membranous urethra. For cosmetic reasons the umbilicus is used as a stomal site for continent urinary diversion, and the technique of intussuscepting the continence nipple has been modified accordingly. A total of 100 patients underwent a Mainz…
Refinements in buccal mucosal graft urethroplasty for hypospadias repair
1998
We evaluated our experience with buccal mucosa in urethral reconstruction for complex hypospadias repair in a total of 62 children operated on at our institution since 1990 at a mean follow-up of 23 months. After the graft had been taken from the lower lip, with possible extension to the inner cheek, complete thinning of the graft was performed. The graft was then sutured in an onlay fashion to the urethral plate, and suprapubic urinary diversion was carried out for 3 weeks. The overall complication rate in this rather complex series of patients, including 26 "hypospadias cripples," was 13%; the complications involved 4 fistulas, 3 cases of graft necrosis, and only 1 meatal stenosis during …
Long-term followup of the intussuscepted ileal nipple and the in situ, submucosally embedded appendix as continence mechanisms of continent urinary d…
2006
We analyzed stoma related complications and continence rates in patients who underwent continent urinary diversion with the cutaneous ileocecal pouch (Mainz pouch I). We compared the intussuscepted ileal nipple and in situ, submucosally embedded appendix as continence mechanisms.A total of 401 patients were included in a retrospective followup study. Continence mechanisms were the intussuscepted ileal nipple in 205 patients and the in situ, submucosally embedded appendix in 196.A total of 144 patients (36%) required intervention for a stomal complication. Of patients who received an intussuscepted ileal nipple 34 (17%) had stomal stenosis at a mean time to first stenosis of 43.8 months, 41 …
Conversion from colonic conduit into recto-sigmoid pouch (Mainz pouch II)
2005
The Mainz Pouch II has now been used widely and found to be a valuable addition to the various types of urinary diversion. The authors from Mainz describe how a colonic conduit can be converted into a Mainz Pouch II, and the expected outcome from such a procedure. OBJECTIVE To report our long-term results of conversion from conduit conversion into a continent anal urinary diversion, as after conduit urinary diversion in childhood, some patients wish to have a later conversion to a continent diversion to avoid external appliances and to improve their quality of life. PATIENTS AND METHODS Between 1992 and 2003, 139 patients had a urinary diversion with a recto-sigmoid pouch (Mainz pouch II), …
Ileocecal valve reconstruction during continent urinary diversion.
1994
During construction of an ileocecal reservoir, such as the Mainz or Indiana pouch, the ileocecal valve is lost. Subsequently, the intestinal transit time is shortened and malabsorption as well as diarrhea may result. Patients having undergone previous bowel resection as well as children with myelomeningocele who often already have frequent defecations will be heavily affected by the loss of the ileocecal valve. We have functionally reconstructed the ileocecal valve by embedding ileum into the ascending colon via a submucosal tunnel in analogy to the technique used when creating the continence mechanism during the Mainz pouch procedure using the appendix. Experimental results in 15 dogs demo…
The Mainz Pouch (Mixed Augmentation Ileum and Cecum) for Bladder Augmentation and Continent Diversion
1986
The ideal urinary reservoir constructed from bowel material should be a low-pressure system with a high capacity, capable of preventing upper tract deterioration resulting from ureteral obstruction or reflux. It should achieve reliable control of continence and assure easy emptying of the reservoir. In the Mainz-pouch, the combination of cecum and ileum, the latter of which is able to absorb pressure waves created by the cecum, produces a low-pressure system with a high capacity immediately postoperatively. By incorporating large bowel in our pouch, ureteral implantation can be done using a simple and reliable standard antireflux technique with a submucosal tunnel. The Mainz-pouch has been …
URINARY DIVERSION AND ORTHOTOPIC BLADDER SUBSTITUTION IN CHILDREN AND YOUNG ADULTS WITH NEUROGENIC BLADDER: A SAFE OPTION FOR TREATMENT?
2000
Combined pharmacotherapy, clean intermittent catheterization and infection prophylaxis is currently the gold standard of treatment for neurogenic bladder. However, as the adolescent gains independence from parental supervision, the intervals of clean intermittent catheterization compliance with medical treatment and regularity of followup examinations may decrease, and neurological and/or orthopedic status may change. This situation sometimes leads to failure of conservative treatment, resulting in incontinence and/or deterioration of the upper urinary tract. A multidisciplinary team was established at our institution 30 years ago to assess all aspects of care for patients with neurogenic b…
Radical surgery and different types of urinary diversion in patients with rhabdomyosarcoma of bladder or prostate--a single institution experience.
2013
Abstract Purpose In a retrospective study we analyzed the outcome of patients treated for rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) of the bladder/prostate with special attention to radical surgery. Methods In 25 patients with genitourinary RMS (15 bladder/10 prostate) the median age at diagnosis was 4 years [1] , [2] , [3] , [4] , [5] , [6] , [7] , [8] , [9] , [10] , [11] , [12] , [13] , [14] , [15] , [16] , [17] , [18] , and 8 patients had a stage II RMS, 12 stage III and 5 stage IV. In 19/25 (12 bladder/7 prostate), radical surgery and urinary diversion were performed. Urinary diversion comprised 2 continent anal diversions, 11 continent cutaneous diversions, 4 colon conduits and 2 urethral diversions (2 +…

2007
Authors from Mainz, Germany present the long-term follow-up of submucosal tunnel and serosa-lined extramural tunnel ureter implantation in the ileocaecal continent cutaneous urinary diversion first described in that department, called the Mainz-Pouch I. OBJECTIVE To assess upper urinary tract complications and renal function in patients with a submucosal tunnel and serosa-lined extramural tunnel ureter implantation during the long-term follow-up of ileocaecal continent cutaneous urinary diversion (Mainz pouch I). PATIENTS AND METHODS In all, 458 patients who had diversion with the ileocaecal pouch were analysed in a retrospective follow-up study. Uretero-intestinal implantation was done usi…
