title: Laparoscopically assisted continent catheterizable cutaneous appendicovesicostomy.
abstract: Described is a case of laparoscopically assisted continent catheterizable cutaneous appendicovesicostomy in a 15-year-old female patient with bilateral ectopic ureteroceles and a totally obliterated bladder neck. The appendix and cecum were mobilized and dissected entirely via laparoendoscopic techniques. The nonrefluxing appendiconeocystostomy required an open cystotomy. The surgical technique and perioperative course are described.
