| Abstrakt: | Purpose: Augmentation cystoplasty has become a primary form of bladder management in children with a noncompliant bladder. Excellent urinary drainage is required for anastomotic healing and the removal of mucous buildup. Suprapubic drainage traditionally involves a Malecot catheter, although poor irrigation and dislodgment of this type of catheter are well-known complications. We report the placement of an intravesical Jackson-Pratt drain for urinary diversion in augmented bladders. Materials and Methods: We reviewed our use of an intravesical Jackson-Pratt drain for urinary diversion between 1995 and 1999 in 17 patients. Postoperative catheter drainage and irrigation characteristics were assessed as well as catheter related complications. Results: Average patient age was 13 years (range 3 to 27). The majority of patients underwent ileal (11) or sigmoid (4) cystoplasty and 1 each underwent composite and ureteral cystoplasty. Drains remained in place an average of 27 days (range 6 to 57). All patients had excellent drainage during the postoperative period. Irrigation was subjectively easier than with a Malecot catheter. Average cost of a latex-free Malecot catheter was 2.7-fold that of a Jackson-Pratt drain. No catheters became nonfunctional before removal, although 1 was inadvertently pulled during patient transfer. Conclusions: A Jackson-Pratt drain provides excellent urinary drainage in patients undergoing augmentation cystoplasty. Multiple openings along the tube seem to improve irrigation in contrast to the single opening in a Malecot catheter, which often aspirates a region of the augmented bladder. The ready availability, decreased cost, ease of irrigation, increased pliability with decreased chance of dislodgment and lack of latex make an intravesical Jackson-Pratt drain a superior choice for augmented neurogenic bladder. |
