title: Cecal tubularization: lengthening technique for creation of catheterizable conduit.
abstract: The creation of a continent, catherizable stoma is an integral component of successful continent urinary diversion. A technique is described which allows lengthening of a continent appendicovesicostomy. This technique extends the applications for the Mitrofanoff principle of urinary tract reconstruction.
