title: Autoaugmentation gastrocystoplasty in a sheep model.
abstract: Ten lambs had their bladders augmented with de-epithelialised stomach muscle added to an intact urothelium. They were assessed functionally and histologically up to 2 months post-operatively. The urothelium remained viable with minimal inflammation and a neo-bladder with good volume was formed.
