Autoaugmentation demucosalized enterocystoplasty.
Autoaugmentation demucosalized enterocystoplasty has been developed from the combination of the autoaugmentation technique, the use of the stomach and colon for bladder augmentation and the ability of the bowel and stomach to survive the removal of their epithelial lining. The initial combined approach used the stomach as the source of muscle, with the colon subsequently being used as an alternative. The operations have been applied in the laboratory and clinically, giving good results for bladder augmentation with both sources of enteric muscle, more reliably so and with a greater ease of separation of the mucosa when stomach muscle is used. There is hope that further research will improve the outcome of what is a technically challenging procedure.
