Synchronous bladder augmentation and living related kidney transplantation.
Ileocystoplasty for enlargement of bladder capacity in conjunction with renal transplantation has been described in several cases. However, the surgical approach has been accomplished as a two-stage procedure. We report the case of a 21-year-old female myelomeningocele patient with end-stage renal insufficiency who was treated with ileocytstoplasty and living related renal transplantation at a single stage. Convalescence remained uneventful. On follow-up 13 months after the operation, the renal parameters remained stable.
