Abstract

Bladder augmentation or augmentation cystoplasty (AC) is generally acceptable therapy for a small-volume, high-pressure bladder. The purpose of AC is to increase bladder storage capacity, decrease bladder pressure, improve bladder compliance (BC), protect UUT function, provide continence, resist infection, and offer a convenient method of voluntary and complete bladder emptying. The technique has been in existence for >100 years, and has recently been performed laparoscopically or robotically. Currently, the AC techniques available in clinical practice include intestinal cystoplasty (ileum), colocystoplasty (sigmoid), gastrocystoplasty (stomach), ureterocystoplasty, autoaugmentation (vesicomyotomy), seromuscular augmentation, and tissue engineering cystoplasty.
