Definition

=========================================================================

Portions of ileum or colon used in adults and children to treat congenital anomalies, dysfunctional bladder or post-cystectomy for malignancy

● Options are to enlarge capacity of bladder (augmentation), channel urine into temporary artificial reservoir while a new bladder is being created or create a neobladder (new bladder after cystectomy)

Clinical features

=========================================================================

Ileal neobladder produces good functional results (J Urol 1999;161:422)

 

Complications:

Intestinal adenocarcinoma in colonic conduits, reflux but only rare renal failure in ileal conduits, highest risk of adenocarcinoma is in augmentation cystoplasty (J Urol 1997;157:482)

Monitor for carcinoma with cytology (direct smears after centrifugation)

● Note: must also monitor nonfunctionalized bladder, if present (J Urol 2006;176:620)

 

Prognostic factors

=========================================================================

 

Case reports

=========================================================================

● 39 year old male with tubular adenoma in ileal segment 34 years after augmentation ileocystoplasty (Diagn Pathol 2007 Aug 13;2:29)

● 67 year old man with adenocarcinoma 20 years after ileal neobladder (Urology 2006;68:1343)
