The utilization of the ureter in augmentation cystoplasty results in a uroepithelium-lined neobladder with all of the appropriate histologic layers. The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of ureterocystoplasty in children with a small bladder capacity and low bladder compliance.\n\n\t \n\n\tMaterial and methods: Between January 1992 and August 2011, six females and eight males who were 3 to 13 years old (median age 6 years) and had a low-capacity, poorly compliant bladder underwent augmentation cystoplasty using dilated ureters. Unilateral non-functioning renal moiety draining into a massively dilated ureter was present in every patient. The etiology of hydroureteronephrosis was a neurogenic bladder secondary to meningomyelocele in five patients, a posterior urethral valve in four patients, an obstructive megaureter in three patients and ectopic obstructive ureterocele in two patients.\n\n\t \n\n\tResults: Mean age was 6 years (3-13 y). Clinical improvement regarding the resolution of reflux, a better bladder capacity and improved compliance was achieved in every patient. The increase in bladder capacity ranged from 84 cc (30 to 200) to 235 cc (150 to 420), with a mean increase of 318% (210 to 500). Marked improvement in compliance was also observed (from 1.2 to 5.1 mL\/cm H2O, mean 2.4, to 22 to 50 mL\/cm H2O, mean 41). No uninhibited bladder contractions were detected during a urodynamic study at 12 months postoperatively.\n\n\t \n\n\tConclusion: In patients with a low-capacity, poorly compliant bladder, augmentation cystoplasty using the ureter seems to be a viable alternative. Ureterocystoplasty results in a large-capacity, high-compliance bladder, without metabolic and infective complications, compared with other techniques of augmentation cystoplasty.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5152\/tud.2013.059","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,10,3]],"date-time":"2013-10-03T07:12:35Z","timestamp":1380784355000},"page":"232-236","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Ureterocystoplasty in pediatric patients with unilateral nonfunctioning kidney"],"prefix":"10.5152","volume":"39","author":[{"given":"Tun\u00e7","family":"\u00d6zdemir","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ahmet","family":"Ar\u0131kan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"3111","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,25]]},"container-title":["Urology Research and Practice"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/urologyresearchandpractice.org\/index.php\/pub\/article\/download\/2748\/2744","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,4]],"date-time":"2026-03-04T18:47:11Z","timestamp":1772650031000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/urologyresearchandpractice.org\/index.php\/pub\/article\/view\/2748"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,25]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,1,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.5152\/tud.2013.059","relation":{},"ISSN":["2980-1478"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2980-1478","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,25]]}}}
