Ileocystoplasty

Ileocystoplasty is a surgical procedure used to repair the bladder after cancer or other diseases have been removed. It involves using part of the colon (ileostomy) to create a new bladder.

The procedure begins by creating an opening in the wall of the colon called a colostomy. The large intestine is then brought out through this opening, and the small intestine takes its place. A new bladder is then created from the small intestine.

Ileocystoplasty has several advantages over other methods of bladder reconstruction. First, the colon is highly resistant to infection, making it an ideal material for constructing a bladder. Second, the small intestine has a larger capacity, which allows for a larger bladder to be created than with other methods.

However, ileocystoplasty also has some disadvantages. One of them is that the colon can cause digestive problems, especially if it is not used properly. Additionally, creating a new bladder from the small intestine can lead to urinary problems such as urinary incontinence.

In general, ileocytoplasty is an effective method for bladder reconstruction, but its use should be based on the individual patient and the chosen treatment strategy.

Ileocystoplasty is a reconstructive operation after removal of the bladder, that is, the formation of a new bladder from a segment of the ileum and its return to the site of the removed affected organ. There is a risk of developing new malignant tumors in the surgical area. It is the final stage of surgical treatment for bladder cancer.
