title: A novel continent cutaneous reservoir: application of appendiceal Mitrofanoff principle to Stanford pouch.
abstract: We describe our modification of Stanford pouch orthotopic bladder replacement both by formation of the pouch with absorbable staples (poly-GIA) and diverting it with the appendiceal Mitrofanoff conduit. This operation was performed on two patients with focal invasive bladder cancer--a male patient with bladder extrofia and a patient with a severely contracted bladder due to interstitial cystitis. No operative or postoperative complications were encountered. Follow-up after operation ranged between 6 and 16 months. The functional and cosmetic results of the operation were satisfactory. This operative modification may be considered for the patient requiring cystectomy who is not a candidate for orthotopic bladder replacement.
