Ureterocystoplasty update.
Ureterocystoplasty is a unique method for bladder augmentation that lines the bladder with transitional epithelium and avoids the potential complications associated with enterocystoplasty. Seven patients have undergone ureterocystoplasty with excellent long-term results. All have maintained good bladder compliance and the contralateral kidney has been protected in all cases.
