Abstract

Augmentation cystoplasty (AC) has long been a staple in the management of bladder dysfunction in children, traditionally performed via an open approach. The use of various bowel segments has been described, including the stomach, small bowel, and colon, but the open ileocystoplasty remains the most popular bladder augmentation procedure [1].
