| Popis: | Purpose: The combined use of the appropriate reconstructive technique and available prosthetic material was evaluated to achieve an optimal functional result in complicated lower urinary tract dysfunction.Materials and Methods: The study included 16 male and 8 female patients. Urinary dysfunction was classified into 2 main categories: 1) neuropathic and 2) nonneuropathic. Of the patients 22 underwent some form of augmentation (21) or substitution (1) cystoplasty, 24 received an artificial urinary sphincter, 2 underwent abdominoperineal urethroplasty and 2 received a permanent urethral stent. One patient underwent renal transplantation and 1 received a penile prosthesis for concurrent impotence.Results: A total of 20 patients (83.3%) became continent, 10 void spontaneously, while 14 must empty the bladder or pouch by clean intermittent self-catheterization. All patients have stable or improved renal function.Conclusions: Combined reconstructive and prosthetic surgery has an important role in the tr... |
