Ileocecocystoplasty bladder augmentation and renal transplantation.
In 4 patients with a small contracted bladder and end stage renal failure ileocecocystoplasty bladder augmentation was done in conjunction with renal transplantation. All 4 patients have stable renal and bladder function 13 to 46 months after transplantation. In carefully selected patients bladder augmentation may be an alternative to urinary diversion.
