Postoperatively, seven CCC dysfunctions occurred in six patients between one month and nine years (four catheterization difficulties, one CCC stenosis at bladder level, one CCC incontinence, one parastomal hernia, no superficial stenosis). Of these complications, two were managed conservatively, two endoscopically, and three by open surgery. 21\/23 surveys were returned: mean age of responders was 15\u00a0years, 97% used their CCC regularly, and none complained of CCC incontinence.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study shows a low revision rate for CCC dysfunction, with over half of the cases effectively managed through conservative or endoscopic means.
