Hourglass bladder after ileocystoplasty (case report).
Narrowing of the anastomotic area between the bowel segment and urinary bladder is known as "hourglass bladder." This report describes a rare case of hourglass bladder deformity occurring post-ileocystoplasty in a 14-year-old male. We describe the essential steps that should be taken during bladder augmentation to avoid such a complication, along with a discussion of the relevant literature. This case emphasizes the need to strictly adhere to the steps of augmentation cystoplasty to avoid this technical complication.
