Synchronous bladder augmentation and living related kidney transplantation

Ileocystoplasty for enlargement of bladder capacity in conjunction with ren al transplantation has been described in several cases. However, the surgic al approach has been accomplished as a two-stage procedure. We report the c ase of a 21-year-old female myelomeningocele patient with end-stage renal i nsufficiency who was treated with ileocytstoplasty and living related renal transplantation at a single stage. Convalescence remained uneventful. On f ollow-up 13 months after the operation, the renal parameters remained stabl e. Copyright (C) 2001 S. Karger AG, Basel.
