Pre-operative and post-operative evaluation of the rectal bladder.
Five Heitz-Boyer-Hovelacque operations in children were reviewed in which particular attention was paid to pre-operative examinations, including electromanometry (EMM) and post-operative evaluation of continence, functional result and renal function. In our limited experience the rectal bladder operation is a good procedure in selected cases; it produces satisfactory continence and maintains renal function.
