title: 'Clam' ileocystoplasty.
abstract: 'Clam' enterocystoplasty has been performed in 23 patients in the treatment of lower urinary tract dysfunction. Twenty patients had neurogenic disorder while three were neurologically normal. Patients were evaluated urodynamically pre- and postoperatively. A significant change from a high pressure bladder to a low pressure bladder was found. Most patients had detrusor instability/hyperreflexia but 7 were operated due to poor bladder compliance. Only 2 patients had postoperative detrusor instability. Three patients later had a urinary diversion. Nineteen patients became dry giving a total success rate of 87% although 14 had to do clean intermittent self catheterization.
