Ureterocystoplasty with renal preservation in young infants.
To assess the outcome of ureterocystoplasty (UCP) with renal preservation in infants, three infants had a UCP with preservation of the ipsilateral kidney, including one who had a ureteropyeloplasty and one who had a UCP using a previously reimplanted ureter. All three had complication-free improvement in bladder volume and compliance. UCP thus produces an augmented bladder and can be performed as part of a transureteropyeloplasty and following ureteric reimplantation.
