Abstract

Goals pursued when constructing an ileal pouch after cystectomy include good capacity and distensibility, voluntary control of micturition with no residual urine, a sensation of fullness, and urinary continence. In addition, metabolic disorders due to reabsorption of urine components by the ileal mucosa require control. A bladder replacement technique using a low-pressure ileal reservoir is described and results in eighty patients are reported. Physiologic features of ileal urinary pouches are reviewed.
