title: Surgical treatment of the atonic bladder ("vesical cap").
abstract: As demonstrated in animal experiments and in five patients with atonic bladders, "vesical cap" surgery causally solves detrusor impairment by functionally reinforcing it with a vital muscle layer from an ileal seromuscular flap. All other genuine components of the bladder are kept intact, which is very beneficial for bladder function.
