Augmentation ileocystoplasty: Operative steps

Abstract

Even in the present times, there remains a role for augmentation cystoplasty, although its use has become less common due to other less invasive procedures such as intravesical injection of botulinum toxin A and neuromodulation. Ileocystoplasty is the most commonly performed bladder augmentation procedure because of the reconstructive urologist's familiarity with ileum and the ileum's ability to easily reach to the pelvis.
