title: Continent vesicostomy using a catheterizable posterior bladder tube: modification of the Mitrofanoff principle.
abstract: The authors report a case of microcolon-intestinal hypoperistalsis and prune-belly syndrome, with a huge adynamic bladder and a vesicostomy. The patient was treated surgically; a continent stoma was created through which urine is drained by intermittent clean catheterization via a catheterizable conduit constructed from a tubularized strip of posterior bladder wall.
