Periurethral injection therapy for urinary incontinence using a laparoscopic port.
In a 14-year-old boy with bladder augmentation, Mitrofanoff appendicovesicostomy, Malone antegrade enema stoma, and bladder neck reconstruction, urinary continence was restored by injection of Teflon with a Veress needle and the aid of a 2-mm laparoscopic port. The method has since been used for nine treatments in six children and has been successful in all.
