The continent vesicostomy: clinical experiences in the adult.
During a 2-year period continent vesicostomy has been attempted in 17 adults and a continent stoma has been achieved in all but 4 patients. Operative morbidity is low and there has been no operative mortality. Definition of precise indications and contraindications must await further experience but this operative procedure seems to be a useful alternative in the management of neurogenic bladder and incontinence.
