| Popis: | The Mitrofanoff principle has been used to achieve clean intermittent catheterisation (CIC) and urinary continence in 28 children. The mean age at operation was 10.1 years (range, 1 to 19 years). A catheterisable conduit was created using the appendix (19), ureter (8), or vas deferens (1). CIC was commenced 10 to 28 days postoperatively (median, 15 days). After a mean follow-up of 13 months (range, 2 to 45 months), 24 children (86%) have achieved successful CIC and urinary continence. Use of the Mitrofanoff principle is a valuable adjunct to the treatment of urinary incontinence in children and may allow successful CIC in patients who are unable to catheterise urethrally. |
