Continent catheterizable urinary channels: Lessons for lifelong urological care from a comparative analysis of very long-term complications and revision-free survival of three different types. Neurourol Urodyn 2024; 43:1083-1089. [PMID: 38078684 DOI: 10.1002/nau.25350] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2023] [Revised: 11/15/2023] [Accepted: 11/26/2023] [Indexed: 06/06/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Continent catheterizable channels (CCC) provide an alternative route to the bladder in both pediatric and adult patients. This study compared very long-term complications and revision-free survival of three different CCC techniques: appendicovesicostomy (AVS), ileum (Monti), and tubularized bladder flap (TBF). MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective cohort study was performed. Data from adult patients with CCC under surveillance at our academic tertiary referral urological center in 2020 and 2021 were collected. Both patients who acquired the CCC as a child and as an adult were included. The primary outcome was revision-free survival of the three CCC types. The secondary outcome was the prevalence of complications requiring surgical revision. Revisions were categorized as major (open subfascial or complete revisions) and minor (open suprafascial or endoscopic). RESULTS We included 173 CCCs (AVS 90, Monti 51, TBF 32). Median follow-up was 12.4 years (4.8-18). Mean revision-free survival was 162 ± 13 months, with no significant difference between the three types. Ninety-two individual CCCs (53%) required surgical revision and a total of 157 surgical revisions were performed. Seventy CCCs (40%) required major surgical revision: AVS (27/90%-30%), Monti (31/51%-61%), TBF (12/32%-38%). CONCLUSION Complications of CCCs are common; in this study with very long-term follow-up, more than half of CCCs required surgical revision. Revisions were more common in Monti channels compared with AVS and TBF. The mean revision-free survival of >13 years illustrates the sustained long-term durability of CCCs which is important in the lifelong urological care of this population with high life expectancy.

THE FRENCH JOURNAL OF UROLOGY 2024; 34:102642. [PMID: 38701949 DOI: 10.1016/j.fjurol.2024.102642] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2024] [Revised: 04/14/2024] [Accepted: 04/28/2024] [Indexed: 05/06/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Continent cutaneous urinary diversion (CCUD) is proposed to patients suffering from chronic neurologic retention and undergoing intermittent self-catheterization (ISC). In case of neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO), augmentation enterocystoplasty is often required. The aim was to identify the prevalence of urinary stomal and/or urethral leakage in patients who had not undergone enlargement. METHODS Monocentric, retrospective study of patients who underwent CCUD surgery in a neuro-urological context. Mitrofanoff's, Monti's or Casale's channels were performed. Patients selected had an underactive, stable, or stabilized bladder under adjuvant therapy with proper cystomanometric capacity. Prior or concomitant enterocystoplasty were excluded. Failure was defined as the occurrence of clinical leakage whatever it is through urinary stomal, or urethral. Urodynamic parameters were also reported. RESULTS Thirty-one patients underwent surgery. Nine women had a concomitant bladder neck sling and 1 urethral closure. The mean follow-up was 7 years. 8/31 (26%) had stomal leakage and 9 urethral leakage (29%). Five spinal cord injured patients (n=14) had stomal leakage (36%) and 6 urethral leakage (43%). Of the 25 postoperative urodynamic parameters, cystomanometric bladder capacity was 419mL (vs. 514mL) and 2 additional patients had de novo NDO (9 vs. 7). DISCUSSION The morbidity of augmentation enterocystoplasty is weighed against the presence of a well-controlled bladder preoperatively. Our study shows the appearance of leakage in some patients despite a well-balanced bladder, a decrease in mean cystomanometric capacity and an increase in the rate of NDO postoperatively. Good selection criteria for an isolated CCUD should be carefully revised and defined. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Grade C - retrospective study.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND Recent medical advances, including closure of myelomeningocele defects, shunting of hydrocephalus, and focusing on renal preservation have led to many individuals with spina bifida (SB) living into adulthood. This has led to more individuals with SB transitioning their care from pediatric-based to adult-based care models. OBJECTIVE We seek to explore the process of transition, with a focus on difficulties in transitioning individuals with SB. Additionally, we explore new problems that arise during the period of transition related to sexual function and dysfunction. We also discuss some of the difficulties managing neurogenic bladder and the sequalae of their prior urologic surgeries. STUDY DESIGN Each of the authors was asked to provide a summary, based on current literature, to highlight the challenges faced in their area of expertise. CONCLUSIONS Transitioning care for individuals with SB is especially challenging due to associated neurocognitive deficits and neuropsychological functioning issues. Sexual function is an important component of transition that must be addressed in young adults with SB. Management of neurogenic bladder in adults with SB can be challenging due to the heterogeneity of the population and the sequelae of their prior urologic surgeries. The aim is to ensure that all individuals with SB receive appropriate, evidence-based care throughout their lifetime.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Several patients, who underwent major reconstruction under the care of an experienced pediatric urologist are now, as adults, several years later, appearing with long term problems and complications. This consensus process was undertaken to give an overview of long term consequences (and their management) of urological childhood surgery. MATERIAL AND METHODS Several known urologists with experience in life-long follow up and revisional surgery of patients with congenital conditions were asked to review literature and comment based on their experience about several complications of childhood surgery. RESULTS Renal impairment, metabolic consequences, bladder stones, Vit B 12 deficiency and recurrent infections are often encountered. Also recurrent ureteric strictures and difficulties with catheterizable channel (both obstruction and incontinence) can be challenging to manage. Specific attention is needed regarding female sexuality and pregnancy. Both the development of malignancies in reconstructed bladders as secondary malignancies need to be taken into account during follow up. CONCLUSION Follow up of patients with rare congenital conditions is highly specialized and revisional surgery can be challenging. Therefore, follow up needs to be organized in specialized centers.

Front Pediatr 2024; 12:1273505. [PMID: 38487468 PMCID: PMC10937426 DOI: 10.3389/fped.2024.1273505] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2023] [Accepted: 02/09/2024] [Indexed: 03/17/2024] Open
Abstract
Purpose This study aims to evaluate the long-term outcome of the serous-lined extramural continent catheterizable outlet procedure (SLECCOP) associated with ileal bladder augmentation in children. Methods This was a monocentric and retrospective study (2002-2021) that included children (<18 years) undergoing the SLECCOP associated with W-shaped ileocystoplasty with a catheterizable channel (Abol-Enein and Ghoneim procedure). Patients who received other types of bladder augmentation or W-shaped ileocystoplasty without a catheterizable channel were excluded. Patient records were reviewed for demographic information, surgical data, and long-term outcomes. Results This study included 52 children [33 boys, median age: 8.5 (0.8-18) years]. Pathological conditions included 28 children with the bladder exstrophy and epispadias complex (BEEC), 11 with neurogenic bladders, and 13 with other pathologies. Two patients underwent total bladder substitution. Thirty-four (65%) patients had bladder neck reconstruction (BNR), with 23 undergoing the SLECCOP and ileocystoplasty and 11 having prior BNR. All stomas, except for two, were umbilical, and were associated with omphaloplasty in 28 patients with the BEEC. A total of 40 stomas were created using the appendix (77%) and 12 with a Monti tube (23%). Stoma-related complications included cutaneous strictures (n = 2, 4%) and leaks (n = 10, 19%), all treated by dextranomer/hyaluronic acid copolymer injection (n = 10). A redo surgery was required in three patients: extraserosal wrapping was performed for persistent leakage (n = 2, 4%), and surgical revision was required for the Monti tube procedure (n = 1, 2%). Three patients (6%) underwent dilatation for transient stoma stenosis. Leakage occurred in 20% of appendix channels (n = 8/40) and 17% of Monti tubes (n = 2/12). Strictures were reported in 3% of appendix channels (n = 1/40) and 8% of Monti tubes (n = 1/12). Bladder stones developed in four patients (8%). Channel leakage persisted in one patient (2%) at a median follow-up of 4.4 years (IQR 1.4-9.7). Conclusion W-Ileal bladder augmentation with the SLECCOP is an efficient technique for treating children with incontinence caused by different etiologies. The rate of channel complication is very low, specifically for strictures, in this complex population of patients.

J Pediatr Urol 2024:S1477-5131(24)00087-1. [PMID: 38403510 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpurol.2024.02.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2023] [Revised: 02/06/2024] [Accepted: 02/09/2024] [Indexed: 02/27/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The Macedo ileal catheterizable channel was published in 2000 and consists of an enterocystoplasty with a catheterizable channel that precludes the need of the appendix for the efferent channel. After 25 years of experience with this technique, we decided to review our experience in a select subgroup of cases performed and followed exclusively by the author in a non-teaching hospital facility after the latest modifications of the procedure. MATERIALS AND METHODS Since 2008, we have refined our technique with the following modifications: small skin transverse incision instead of longitudinal one, with a semicircular flap for further stoma creation in the midline and importantly the scissors maneuver. This maneuver consists of crossing two 2 cm rectus abdominis muscle flaps in the midline to create a neosphincter over the catheterizable channel. Follow-up was defined as the interval between the date of surgery and last visit to the clinic. We defined stoma continence if the dry interval between catheterization was 4hs. Early and late complications were reported as well as the reintervention rate. Additional procedures in association with bladder augmentation were also appointed. RESULTS We have treated 49 patients. Indications were spinal dysraphism (71.4%), mainly myelomeningocele (65.3%), and others (PUV, exstrophy, anorectal anomalies). Urodynamic evaluation showed bladder pressure of high risk for upper urinary tract involvement (66%), urinary incontinence (24.5%), conversion of incontinent urinary diversion (3.8%), one exstrophy patient not considered (1.9%). Mean age at surgery was 88 months (7.3 years), 21 patients had additional surgeries in addition to Macedo ileal catheterizable channel: Macedo-Malone LACE procedure in 21 patients and bladder neck surgery to improve continence in 5 patients. Urinary stoma continence was 93.9% (46/49) after first surgery, one patient had a serous line valve revised, two patients still leak after 2 h and await revision. Overall enterocystoplasty complications rate was 12.24% and consisted of urinary leakage in 3 cases and channel/stoma stricture in 3 cases. All patients treated for sphincteric deficiency associated with bladder reconstruction are continent per urethra. Urinary stoma revision for stricture was done in 2 cases and consisted on suprafascial approach and reanastomosis, one patient resolved with dilatation of the channel to the stoma. Mean follow up is 100 months (8.3 years). CONCLUSION We confirmed in a long term follow-up based on face-to-face visits with 8.3 years mean follow-up that the Macedo procedure associated with the scissors maneuver is associated with 93.9% continence of the stoma. Overall complications rate was 12.24%. The cosmetic aspect with a small transverse incision and a midline stoma is another strength of the technique.

Abstract
PURPOSE To report our experience and results in terms of complications, reoperation rate and urinary continence with the Salvage Continent Vesicostomy (SCV) technique in pediatric patients with history or need of enterocystoplasty and absent appendix. METHODS Retrospective review of all patients with a history of a continent catheterizable channel surgery performed in our institution between June 2016 and January 2022. Only patients with a SCV surgery with a minimum 6-month post operative follow up were included in this cohort and divided in group 1 (history of previous bladder augmentation) and group 2 (simultaneous bladder augmentation and SCV). Primary outcome of the study was to assess both continence and postoperative complication rates. Early complications were assessed using the Clavien-Dindo classification (I-V). Late complications were focused on the need of further subfascial revision. RESULTS 84 patients with a history of a continent stoma creation surgery were identified. In 20 of them (12 males) a SCV was performed. The mean age at surgery was 10.38 (range 4.87-15.6) years and the median postoperative follow-up time was 32 (range 6-64) months. Eleven patients were included in Group 1, while 9 patients in Group 2. Early complications occurred in 4 patients (20%), two of them required a re-intervention (Clavien-Dindo IIIb). Stoma subfascial revision was further required in 2 patient (10%). Continence rate at last follow up was 95%. CONCLUSIONS In our early experience, the salvage continent vesicostomy has proven to be a simple continent stoma technique with acceptable both continence and complication rates that can be used in selected patients with a history or need of bladder augmentation and absent appendix.

Abstract
Chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction (CIPO) is characterized by severe digestive +/- urinary dysmotility. If the conservative management fails, multivisceral transplantation (MVT) may be needed. However, urinary dysmotility remains after MVT and requires to continue urinary catheterizations and/or drainage. We report on a boy with severe CIPO complicated by (1) chronic intestinal obstruction requiring total parenteral nutrition, decompression gastrostomy, and ileostomy; (2) recurrent line infections; (3) hepatic fibrosis; and (4) distension of the bladder and upper urinary tract, and recurrent urinary infections, leading to non-continent cystostomy for urinary drainage. He underwent MVT at the age of 5 years. The transplant included the liver, stomach, duodenum and pancreas, small bowel, and right colon. The distal native sigmoid colon was preserved. Fifteen months later, he underwent a pull through of the transplanted right colon (Duhamel's procedure), together with a tube continent cystostomy (Monti's procedure) using the native sigmoid. Postoperative course was uneventful, and the remaining ileostomy was closed 3 months later. Five years post-transplant, he is alive and well. He is fed by mouth with complementary gastrostomy feeding at night. He has 3-6 stools per day, with occasional soiling. The cystostomy is used for intermittent urinary catheterization 4 times/day and continuous drainage at night. He is dry, with rare afebrile urinary infections, normal renal function, and un-dilated upper urinary tract. Conclusion: in severe CIPO with urinary involvement, preservation of the distal native sigmoid colon during MVT allows secondary creation of a continent tube cystostomy, which is useful to manage persistent urinary disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess long-term APV and split-appendix MACE durability and to compare split and intact appendix APVs in a large patient cohort. METHODS This retrospective cohort study included consecutive patients ≤21 years old undergoing an APV at our institution (1990-2019). Main outcomes were stomal and subfascial revisions. Kaplan Meier survival and Cox proportional hazards analysis were used. RESULTS A total of 339 patients underwent APV creation at a median 7.4 years old (41% female vs. 59% male; 37% umbilical stoma vs. 63% other). In total, 36 patients underwent a stomal revision and 19 a subfascial revision (median channel follow-up 6.3 years). On survival analysis, the risk of stomal revision of the APV was 9.1% at 5 years, 12.6% at 10 years and 16.5% at 15 years. Risk of subfascial revision of the APV was 5.1% at 5 years, 7.0% at 10 years and 8.2% at 15 years. A split-appendix APV was performed in 118 (34.8%) of 339 patients. They had a shorter follow-up compared to those with an intact APV (5.1 vs. 7.0 years, p = 0.03). After correcting for differential follow-up time, there was no significant difference between groups for stomal revisions (HR 1.11, p = 0.76) or subfascial revisions (HR 0.80, p = 0.67, Figure). Risk of APV stomal revision was independent of stomal location and age at surgery (p ≥ 0.37). Similarly, risk of subfascial APV revision was independent of stomal location and age at surgery (p ≥ 0.18). Risk of stomal revision for split-appendix MACE channels was 16.2% at 5, 10 and 15 years (similar to split-appendix APV and all APVs, p ≥ 0.26). Risk of MACE subfascial revision was 5.5% at 5 years, 5.5% at 10 years and 14.7% at 15 years (similar to split-appendix APV and all APVs, p ≥ 0.36). COMMENT We focused on surgical complications, as these entail the highest morbidity, however, we did not assess non-surgical, percutaneous or endoscopic management which also impact long-term outcome and patient quality of life. We did not compare the outcomes of the split-appendix MACE to an intact-appendix MACE cohort, as this patient population was not captured in this review. CONCLUSIONS The split-appendix technique has durable long-term results for both the APV and MACE channels, which are comparable to the technique utilizing the intact appendix. Channel complications occur over the channel's lifetime, as 1 in 8 APVs in the entire cohort underwent a stomal revision and 1 in 14 APVs underwent a subfascial revision at 10 years after surgery.

J Pediatr Urol 2021; 17:700.e1-700.e6. [PMID: 34275740 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpurol.2021.06.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2020] [Revised: 05/18/2021] [Accepted: 06/01/2021] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Many patients with certain conditions require catheterizable channels for bladder and bowel management. There are a variety of accepted techniques for creating these channels; the split appendix technique enables the use of this organ for both procedures, obviating the need for more complex surgical procedures. Studies comparing outcomes across catheterizable channel types are limited. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare the urinary channel complication rates of the split appendix, intact appendix and transverse ileal tube (Monti) channels. We hypothesized that complication rates would be the same across all channel types. STUDY DESIGN We retrospectively reviewed consecutive patients who underwent surgical creation of a urinary continent catheterizable channel. We recorded demographics, underlying diagnosis, body mass index, stoma location, surgical techniques, and surgical revisions. The primary outcome was complication (stenosis, leakage, or both) with or without surgical revision, and to compare the three different catheterizable channel types using time to event analysis. RESULTS From January 2014-July 2018, 107 patients underwent creation of a continent catheterizable urinary channel; 86 (80.4%) patients also underwent simultaneous procedure for antegrade bowel management. The mean age was 7 years; 66 (60.8%) were females. Intact appendices were used in 46 (43.0%), Monti channel in 25 (23.4%), and split appendix technique in 36 (33.6%). The corresponding complication rates with or without surgical revision was 21.7%, 36.0%, and 47.2%, respectively. The only independent factor associated with increased risk of complication was the split appendix technique; these channels were more than twice as likely to require surgical revision with an adjusted hazard ratio of 2.32 (Table 4). The majority of revisions in all groups were skin level (58.3%). The most common indication for surgical revision was stenosis (55.6%). DISCUSSION This analysis shows a statistically significant increase in risk of all complications, including an increase in need for surgical revision, in patients who underwent split appendix technique for simultaneous bladder and bowel catheterizable channels. This finding should be balanced with the fact that a bowel anastomosis is not required in cases where individuals need both a bowel and bladder catheterizable channel. This study is unique in its separation of split and intact appendix channels, and inclusion of patients experiencing complications that have not yet required surgical revision. Limitations of this study include its retrospective design, inclusion of a single institution, and the lack of consistency in documenting baseline appendiceal length. CONCLUSION Split appendix catheterizable channels have a higher rate of channel complications than other techniques. The authors acknowledge that the split appendix technique has been proven feasible and effective, however recognize that it may not be appropriate for all patients and include counseling of the risks of its use.

Reoperation for Channel Complications in Children With Continent Cutaneous Catheterizable Channels: The Test of Time. Urology 2021; 159:196-202. [PMID: 34437898 DOI: 10.1016/j.urology.2021.08.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2021] [Revised: 08/08/2021] [Accepted: 08/11/2021] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To examine the durability of continent cutaneous catheterizable urinary channels (CCCC) in children and assess whether channel complications continue to arise with extended follow-up. Previous studies demonstrated that complications of CCCC cluster in the early years following surgery. METHODS The database of a tertiary center was queried for patients≤21 years who underwent CCCC. Patients with <6 years of follow-up were excluded. Patients were invited for follow-up to assess continence. Clinic visits and hospital admissions were reviewed for channel complications requiring reoperation. Complications were analyzed against patient and channel characteristics and time since initial surgery. RESULTS Between 1993 and 2012, a total of 120 patients underwent CCCC at a median age of 6.8(0.4-21) years and a median follow-up of 11.4(6.6-27) years. CCCC were created using the appendix, Monti channels and tapered ileal segments in 74(61.7%), 33(27.5%) and 13(10.8%), respectively. Continence relied on the extra-mural serous lined principle in 85.8% and the stoma was anastomosed to the umbilicus in 90%. Dryness with catheterization intervals of 3 hours or longer was eventually achieved in 90.8% with similar rates among different channel types (P=.149). 26(21.7%) required 42 interventions to treat channel complications with 32.5% occurring >5 years following initial surgery irrespective of the channel type (P=.978). On multivariate analysis, ileal channels had 3.372 higher odds of needing reoperation compared to appendicovesicostomy (95%CI=1.240-9.166; P = .037). CONCLUSION A high reoperation rate is anticipated throughout the lifetime of CCCC. Appendicovesicostomy has a low complication risk relative to ileal channels.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION When creating a continent catheterizable channel (CCC) the choice of bowel segment used as the conduit should be tempered with the morbidity associated with it. The split-appendix technique allows the creation of both a urinary and fecal CCC without the need for a bowel anastomosis. However, there is concern that by splitting the appendix there is compromise to its blood supply and may affect outcomes. We aim to compare what affect the bowel segment used for urinary and fecal CCCs has on perioperative and long-term outcomes in patients undergoing simultaneous urinary and fecal reconstruction. METHODS A retrospective review was performed analyzing all patients that underwent simultaneous continent catheterizable urinary and fecal CCC between the years 2010-2016. Patient demographics, channel characteristics, perioperative complications and clinical success rate were analyzed. RESULTS A total of 106 patients were identified that had simultaneous fecal and urinary CCC created at time of reconstruction. For urinary CCC, there were 64 patients (60.4%) that underwent a split-appendix technique, 27 patients (25.4%) underwent a Monti, and 15 patients (14.2%) had the appendix used only for the urinary channel. Those patients undergoing a split-appendix technique had median operative time of 447 min compared to 619 min when a Monti channel was created. The median length of hospital stay was 9 days for the split-appendix technique compared to 12 and 13 day median hospital stay when the appendix was used only for the urinary channel or a Monti was created, respectively. There was no difference seen in revision free survival of the channel following surgery of any of the channels with median follow-up of 44.5 months. However, there were more subfascial revisions of urinary CCC in those that underwent a Monti (5 patients, 18.5%) compared to other bowel segments (0 patients). CONCLUSIONS Utilizing a split-appendix approach for creation of urinary and fecal CCCs does not affect 30-day complications or long-term revision rates compared to other established techniques. This technique minimizes the potential surgical morbidity of a bowel anastomosis and provide shorter operative times, when feasible, at time of simultaneous creation of fecal and urinary CCC.

Abstract
Objective: This case series aimed to demonstrate that flexible cystoscopy and laser stone fragmentation via a Mitrofanoff stoma is possible and an effective treatment for symptomatic bladder stones in complex patients with inaccessible urethras and challenging anatomy. Patients and methods: We present three cases which were managed in a tertiary centre. The procedure involved using a flexible cystoscope via the Mitrofanoff stoma and laser stone fragmentation without the need for an access sheath. Results: This technique was performed safely and demonstrated successful bladder stone clearance on follow-up, with no postoperative complications. Conclusion: Our case series illustrates a technique that can be performed in this select group of patients in specialist centres with the relevant surgical exposure and expertise.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the outcomes of continent urinary diversion according to the Mitrofanoff principle by robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery in terms of continence, catheterization and repeat surgery. METHODS All adult patients who underwent procedures for continent urinary diversion via a robot-assisted laparoscopic route between October 2014 and November 2018 were enrolled retrospectively. Abdominal continence and clean intermittent catheterization ability were noted, as well as patient characteristics, details of the technique, intra- and perioperative parameters, and complications. RESULTS Ten patients were included. Bladder-sphincter disorders were due to neurological causes in nine patients, and one patient had idiopathic bladder sphincter dyssynergia. A continent catheterizable channel was created using the appendix in six cases and the ileum in four cases. The median operative duration was 245 min (IQR 228-370). Two patients had a Clavien 3 complication requiring laparoscopy to separately drain a haematoma and a pelvic abscess. The median follow-up was 21 months (IQR 17-27). Abdominal continence without further intervention was obtained in 6/10 patients (60%). Two patients needed an open revision of the continent urinary diversion, one required injection of Deflux® and one an intradetrusorian injection of botulinum toxin type A (Botox®). Further surgery was needed for two patients to improve urethral continence. At the end of follow-up, all patients were continent and clean intermittent catheterization was possible. CONCLUSION Continent urinary diversion performed according to the Mitrofanoff principle is possible via a robot-assisted laparoscopic route and yields good outcomes on abdominal continence in the short term in patients with clean intermittent catheterization ability.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Caring for adults with prior paediatric genitourinary reconstruction remains a challenge for adult providers. Reconstructions typically have occurred decades before; surgical records are not always available and patients and families may be unable to convey procedures performed. Spina bifida (SB) patients are vulnerable to cognitive decline which may compound these challenges. Changes in patient body habitus and loss of function may contribute to problems with previous reconstructions. METHODS This is a non-systematic review of the literature and represents expert opinion where data are non-existent. This review focuses on the evaluation and management of complications arising from genitourinary reconstruction in congenital neurogenic bladder patients. RESULTS Common complications experienced by congenital neurogenic bladder patients include recurrent urinary tract infection, incontinence of catheterizable channel and urinary reservoir as well as malignancy as this population ages. Preservation of renal function and prevention of urinary tract infection while optimizing continence are essential guiding principles in the care of these patients. Many of the recommendations, however, are gleaned from available data in the adult spinal cord patient (a more commonly studied population) or the paediatric urologic literature due to limited studies in adult management of such patients. CONCLUSION Close follow-up and vigilance is warranted to monitor for infectious, mechanical and malignant complications while optimizing preservation of the upper urinary tracts and patient quality of life.

Abstract
PURPOSE Transition in urology is defined by the process that allows an adolescent or a young adult with a congenital or acquired urogenital anomaly to assume increasing responsibility for their own health care and to become the primary decision maker in their care. METHODS A review of the literature regarding transitional care for lifelong urologic congenital anomalies was performed with the aim of reporting expert opinion when data are non-existent. This review focuses on special considerations for adolescents and young adults with spina bifida, bladder exstrophy, anorectal malformations and differences of sexual development. RESULTS Urologic goals during the transition from childhood to adulthood continue to include attention to the preservation of renal function and optimization of lower urinary tract function. Additional concerns include care to decrease long-term surgical complications (especially after augmentation cystoplasty), to monitor for malignancy, to prepare for sex activity and fertility, and to help the adult patient in decision making. Transition aims to maximize quality of life and independence by ensuring uninterrupted appropriate care through a multidisciplinary approach which varies by geographical location and healthcare setting. Barriers include patient and family factors as well as provider and system related factors. A dedicated team is an important element of successful transition.

Abstract
AIMS The objective of this study was to assess the effectiveness and the complications rate following continent cutaneous channels (CCC) procedures, at short and medium term follow-up (FU). MATERIALS & METHODS A continuous retrospective case series (2008-2018): all patients who have undergone a CCC for neurogenic bladder were included in our department. The primary outcome was the effectiveness of CCC defined by the status of catheterizability (by the patient or a care-giver), continence of the tube, and absence of reintervention at 3 and 12 months FU. The secondary outcome was the prevalence of postoperative complications at 3 and 12 months FU. RESULTS Fifty-three patients were included during the study period in our department. Median follow up was 3,3 years (1.5-6.1). The overall effectiveness of CCC was 67.9% (n=36/53) at 3 months FU and 45,3% (n=24) at 12 months FU. The global rate of complications was 60.4% (n=32/53) at 3 months, and 73.6% (n=39/73) at 12 months FU. The statistical analysis showed no statistical differences on efficacy and complications in the different subgroups of CCC. CONCLUSIONS In the current series, the effectiveness and the complications rates following CCC were comparable across the procedure types. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 4.

Abstract
Today, there are few indications for the use of bowel in pediatric urology. This is in large extent due to the successful conservative therapy in patients with neurogenic bladder and the improved success of primary reconstruction in patients with the bladder exstrophy-epispadias complex. Only after the failure of the maximum of conservative therapy or after failure of primary reconstruction, bladder augmentation, or urinary diversion should be considered. Malignant tumors of the lower urinary tract (e.g., rhabdomyosarcomas of the bladder/prostate) are other rare indications for urinary diversion. Replacement or reconstruction of the ureter with a bowel segment is also a quite rarely performed procedure. In this review, the advantages and disadvantages of the different options for the use of bowel segments for bladder augmentation, bladder substitution, urinary diversion, or ureter replacement during childhood and adolescence are discussed.

Abstract
Surgical indications for individuals with neuropathic bladder include unsafe urinary storage pressures, progressive upper tract deterioration, and continued urinary incontinence that is recalcitrant to oral pharmacologic or intradetrusor injection therapy and intermittent catheterization. Bladder augmentation is currently the gold standard surgical procedure used to increase bladder capacity and reduce storage pressures but has significant long-term risks. The medical and surgical management of neuropathic bladder, as well as long-term consequences of bladder augmentation, are reviewed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In children, intermittent catheterization by appendicovesicostomy according to Mitrofanoff is an interesting alternative to the urethral approach. Objective of the study was to evaluate the rate of appendicovesicostomy's specific complications. METHOD From 1997 to 2017, data on children treated and followed for an appendicovesicostomy in an academic institution were collected retrospectively. Rates of surgical complications specifically encountered on appendicovesicostomy, time of onset, frequency, and necessity of surgical reinterventions have been reported. RESULTS Thirty-four patients were operated on and followed for a median of 6.2 years [0.3-24]. Fifty percent had a complication, occurring after a median of 8 months [2-90], and 38% required at least one surgical revision. If complication occurred, adjustment of medical treatment and intermittent catheterization was effective in 12% of patients, endoscopic or over-fascial surgery was necessary in 17% of cases, and under-fascial revision in 21% of cases. Median time to complication was 4 months [1-90] after creation or revision of appendicovesicostomy. Thirty-height percent of difficult channel catheterization were reported, of which 46% were over or under-fascial stenosis. Inaugural urinary incontinence was 18%, and only 9% if using the appendix. At the end, 97% of appendicovesicostomy were continent. CONCLUSIONS Appendicovesicostomy is a high risk of complications and postoperative revisions surgery, in order to have a functional continent channel. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 4.

Abstract
A majority of the transitional urology patient population have neurogenic bladder and many of these patients have undergone creation of continent catheterizable channels (CCCs) to facilitate bladder emptying. Transitional urologists will be faced with revision of these channels due to a variety of possible complications. We performed a comprehensive literature review to the data regarding the incidence, timing, and predisposing factors that lead to complications of CCCs as well as surgical revision techniques and their outcomes. Long-term channel complications and related revisions are common (25-30%) and likely underestimated. While many predictors for revision have been posited, the only predictor that has been significant in robust multivariable analysis is channel type, with appendicovesicostomies having a lower chance of requiring revision compared to Monti channels. Channels created in adults have high likelihood of requiring revision, even within a relatively short follow-up period. We review techniques for management of channel complications and their outcomes. As patients with congenital urologic conditions requiring CCCs are gaining longer lifespans, transitional urologists will be faced with revision and/or replacement of these channels. While some of these patients may require supravesical diversion in the future, data show that revision is feasible with good outcomes. Longer-term follow-up data is needed to understand the life-span and best practices of new CCCs created among the transitional population.

The Double Dutch technique: A new way of creating an ileocystoplasty with a lengthy catheterizable ileal tube. J Pediatr Urol 2018; 14:255.e1-255.e6.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION A tubularized conduit from an open 2-cm vascularized ileal segment is a frequently used technique to create a continent catheterizable channel in cases of an inappropriate or absent appendix. In the long term, many patients experience catheterization problems with the classic ileal segment tube, and even more with spiral or double-segment tubes. OBJECTIVE The objective of this paper was to introduce an ileocystoplasty modification combined with a long ileal segment tube that has better support by surrounding tissue than other lengthy ileal segment tubes. Briefly summarized, this newly introduced method begins with isolating approximately 30 cm of ileum and dividing it into two parts. Two strips are then created and closed as a double-length tube. The ileal segments are opened antimesenterically and closed over the tube in the middle. The lower part of the tube is implanted with a submucosal tunnel in the bladder wall, and the ileal patch is then anastomosed with the bladder. The tube is anastomosed to the umbilicus in an ordinary way without any traction (see Summary Fig.). STUDY DESIGN Between May 2005 and November 2012 the new technique was used at the current institution in nine children who needed an ileocystoplasty (mean age: 9 years and 3 months). Underlying etiology was neurogenic bladder in seven cases and epispadias in two. RESULTS All patients ultimately had stomas without leakage or strictures. During follow-up, three of nine tubes developed stenoses that were corrected; four stomas in total had some sort of surgical revision. Median follow-up was 93 months. Intermittent catheterization was uncomplicated in all at this time. DISCUSSION With this modification of the standard technique it seemed to be possible to create a more stable channel. The blood supply of the tube was secured by completely embedding the mesentery of the tube. Limitations included the small number of patients treated so far. CONCLUSION The lengthy tubes appeared to be straight and well supported by the surrounding tissues, which prevented kinking and sacculation. It is hoped that this technique will have better results and fewer complications at long-term follow-up.

Do anterior catheterizable urinary channels have fewer complications than posterior channels? An international cohort study. J Pediatr Urol 2018; 14:48.e1-48.e7.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Appendicovesicostomy (APV) and Monti ileovesicostomy (Monti) are durable catheterizable channels. While subfascial revision rates vary by channel type, a channel implanted in the anterior (vs posterior) aspect of the bladder may have a lower subfascial revision risk, due to decreased channel mobility and better fascial fixation. The present study aimed to compare long-term durability of anteriorly compared to posteriorly implanted APV and Monti channels in a large international cohort. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective cohort study was conducted on patients aged ≤21 years and who underwent APV or Monti surgery with an open technique at three high-volume centers (1990-2015). The following were noted: patient demographics, stomal and subfascial revisions, stomal location, channel placement (anterior/posterior), and channel type - APV, spiral Monti to umbilicus (SMU), other Monti channels. Survival analysis and Cox proportional hazards regression were used to separately examine the three channel groups. RESULTS Of the 675 patients who met inclusion criteria, 387 had an APV (71.3% anterior), 53 had an SMU (13.2% anterior) and 235 had other Monti channels (42.1% anterior). Median age at surgery was 8.8 years for APV (median follow-up: 5.5 years), 9.2 years for other Monti (follow-up: 6.6 years) and 7.9 years for SMU (follow-up: 9.0 years). Patients originated from the USA (67.9%), Argentina (26.4%) and Chile (5.8%). Overall, 76 stomal and 77 subfascial revisions occurred. Risk of stomal revision was 9.3-12.0% at 5 years of follow-up, and was similar between channel types or location (P = 0.57). Risk of subfascial revision at 5 years was 7.4% for APV, 12.7% for all other Monti channels and 25.9% for SMU (P = 0.001). On survival analysis, stomal and subfascial revision rates were similar between anterior and posterior channels for APV (P ≥ 0.16), other Monti channels (P ≥ 0.62) and SMU (P ≥ 0.43) (Summary Fig.). On multivariate regression, channel configuration was not associated with stomal or subfascial revision for APV (P ≥ 0.18) or other Monti channels (P ≥ 0.64). Sex, age, diagnosis, country and stomal location were not associated with revision risk (P ≥ 0.06). DISCUSSION Contrary to the hypothesis, subfascial revision rates were no different between anterior and posterior channels. Given that many reported outcomes related to genitourinary reconstruction occur rarely and require prolonged follow-up, collaborative research in this area should be encouraged. CONCLUSIONS The study demonstrated durable long-term results with the APV and Monti techniques in an international cohort. Risks of stomal and subfascial complications were not significantly different between anteriorly and posteriorly implanted channels. As previously reported, Monti channels, particularly SMU, were more prone to undergoing subfascial revisions.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The study aimed to describe the strategies of surgical revision for catheterizable channel obstruction and their outcomes, including restenosis and new channel incontinence. METHODS We retrospectively queried the charts of adults who underwent catheterizable channel revision or replacement from 2000-2014 for stomal stenosis, channel obstruction, or difficulty with catheterization at the Universities of Minnesota, Michigan, and Utah. The primary endpoint was channel patency as measured by freedom from repeat surgical intervention. Secondary endpoints included post-revision incontinence and complication rates. Revision surgeries were classified by strategy into "above fascia," "below fascia," and "channel replacement" groupings. RESULTS A total of 51 patients who underwent 68 repairs (age 18-82 years old; mean 45) were identified who met our inclusion criteria. Channel patency was achieved in 66% at a median 19 months post-revision for all repair types. There was no difference in patency by the type of channel being revised, but there was based on revision technique, with channel replacement and above the fascia repairs being more successful (p=0.046). Channel incontinence occurred in 40% and was moderate to severe in 12%. The type of channel being revised was strongly associated (p=0.003) with any postoperative channel incontinence. Surgical complications occurred in 29% of all revision procedures, although most were low-grade. CONCLUSIONS Surgical revision of continent catheterizable channels for channel obstruction can be performed with acceptable rates of durable patency and incontinence; however, the surgeon needs to have experience in complex urinary diversion and familiarity with a variety of surgical revision strategies.

Abstract
Pediatric urinary diversion is performed for a unique set of indications with many options to consider. Although surgical intervention has decreased in necessity overall due to advances in expectant management, it remains an important tool. There are many options and various factors to consider in choosing the right type of diversion for an individual and these patients require lifelong follow-up with a pediatric urologist and eventually an adult urologist. This article provides a detailed review of the most relevant techniques used by pediatric urologists for urinary diversion.

Abstract
Urologists routinely use bowel in the reconstruction of the urinary tract. With an increasing prevalence of urinary diversions, it is important for surgeons to have a basic understanding of varied use and configuration of bowel segments in urinary tract reconstruction that may be encountered during abdominal surgery. The aim of this review article is to provide an overview of the various reconstructive urological surgeries requiring bowel and to guide physicians on how to manage these patients with urinary diversions.

A case of base rate bias, or are adolescents at a higher risk of developing complications after catheterizable urinary channel surgery? J Pediatr Urol 2017; 13:184.e1-184.e6.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Adolescents are considered to be at high risk of developing complications after lower genitourinary tract reconstruction. This perception may be due to base rate bias, where clinicians favor specific information (adolescents with complications), while ignoring more general information (number of total adolescents being followed). The goal of this study was to assess whether age was a true risk factor for subfascial and stomal revisions after continent catheterizable urinary (CCU) channel procedures. MATERIALS AND METHODS Consecutive patients aged <21 years and who underwent appendicovesicostomy and Monti surgery at the present institution were retrospectively reviewed; demographic and surgical data were collected. Time to subfascial or stomal revision was stratified by age at initial surgery (child: <8, preteen: 8-12, adolescent: 13-17, adult: ≥18 years old) and analyzed with Cox proportional-hazards regression. Secondary analyses included: different age categories at initial surgery (<8, 8-11, 12-15, 16-19, ≥20 years), analyzing age as a continuous and a time-varying covariate. RESULTS Of the 510 patients with CCU channels (median age at surgery: 7.9 years), 63 (12.4%) had subfascial and 53 (10.4%) had stomal revision (median follow-up: 6.8 years). Median age at subfascial and stomal revision was 11.3 and 10.3 years, respectively. Preteens contributed 33.0% and adolescents contributed 29.3% of the total follow-up time (3263.9 person-years). Over 80% of revisions occurred within 5 years of surgery, regardless of age at initial surgery (P ≥ 0.57) (Summary table). On multivariate analysis, age at initial surgery was not associated with undergoing subfascial (P ≥ 0.62) or stomal revisions (P ≥ 0.69). Montis were 2.1 times more likely than appendicovesicostomies to undergo a subfascial revision (P = 0.03). No other variables were associated with the risk of subfascial or stomal revision (P ≥ 0.11). Secondary analyses provided similar results. DISCUSSION Since the median age at surgery was 8 years old and most complications occurred within the first 5 years of follow-up, it is not surprising that most revisions occurred in 8-13 year olds. Pediatric urologists appear to base their impression of adolescents being "high risk" on specific information (adolescents having complications), while subconsciously ignoring more general information (adolescents represent a large proportion of patients in follow-up). This study had several limitations: channel complications treated non-surgically (e.g. prolonged catheterization) were not included. The findings may not be generalizable to other genitourinary reconstructive procedures or clinical settings. CONCLUSIONS While complications were twice as high in Monti channels than appendicovesicostomies, no single age group was at increased risk. The impression that adolescents are a high-risk group appears to represent a base rate bias.

Abstract
PURPOSE We previously reported catheterizable channel associated outcomes and concluded that the incidence of postoperative complications was greatest in the first 2 years after surgery. At that time our followup was short. In this series we sought to determine whether complications continued to accumulate with longer followup in an updated cohort of patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS We comprehensively reviewed the outcomes in 81 consecutive patients who underwent construction of a MACE (Malone antegrade continence enema) and/or a Mitrofanoff channel in association with complex genitourinary reconstruction. Mean followup was 80.1 months. Outcomes of these 119 stomas were classified by Clavien-Dindo grade and time to complication. RESULTS The 48 unique, channel related events (40.3%) necessitated a total of 70 interventions with a mean 24.2 months to the first event. Difficult catheterization was the most common event, occurring in 20.1% of channels an average of 29.9 months after surgery. Stomal stenosis was also common, developing in 12.6% of channels at an average of 19.9 months after surgery. Unique complications clustered in the first 2 years, after which there was a statistically significant decline (p = 0.0013). High grade complications similarly clustered (p <0.0001). Channel composition was significantly associated with rates of difficult catheterization events. CONCLUSIONS Compared to our previous cohort of patients with similar volume but shorter followup, our assumption that channel associated complications cluster postoperatively and then decrease significantly was correct. Our current and more detailed series demonstrates that the rate of postoperative complications decreases with time. However, with longer followup patients continue to experience lower grade events requiring fewer interventions.

Abstract
Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most common soft tissue tumor in children, and 15% to 20% arise from the genitourinary tract. Multicenter collaborative studies have improved survival substantially, and in addition to excellent oncologic control, current treatment focuses on organ preservation and minimization of late treatment effects. The multiple modalities needed to treat RMS dictate that treating physicians must be familiar with the disease as well as the goals and possible sequelae of treatment with chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery. This article discusses the current standards of care for bladder and prostate RMS.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Patients with continent catheterizable channels (CCC) may develop difficulty catheterizing postoperatively. In complex cases, endoscopic evaluation with indwelling catheter placement may be indicated, but the risk factors for subsequent formal channel revision are not well defined. The purpose of this study was to determine the risk factors for formal channel revision after attempted endoscopic management of difficulty catheterizing. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed an IRB-approved retrospective review of pediatric (<21 years old) patients undergoing CCC construction at our institution from 1999 to 2014 to identify patients who underwent endoscopy for difficulty catheterizing. Fisher's Exact test was used for categorical data and Mann-Whitney U test for continuous variables to examine the association between endoscopic intervention and subsequent formal revision. RESULTS Sixty-three of 434 patients (14.5%) underwent at least one endoscopy for reported difficulty catheterizing their CCC, with 77.8% of these requiring additional intervention during endoscopy (catheter placement, dilation, etc.). Of these, almost half with functioning channels (43.5%, 27/62) were managed successfully with endoscopy without formal revision; six (22.2%) of whom underwent more than one endoscopy. These 27 patients continued to catheterize well at a median follow-up of 3.2 years (interquartile range 2.0-6.0). Patients requiring revision had a median of 1.7 years between CCC creation and first endoscopy, versus 1.6 years in those who were not revised (p = 0.60). There was no statistically significant difference between revised and non-revised channels in terms of patient age at CCC creation, underlying patient diagnosis, status of bladder neck, stomal location, or channel type (p ≥ 0.05) (see Table). CONCLUSION Approximately half of our patients did not require a formal channel revision after endoscopic management. We did not identify any specific risk factors for subsequent formal revision of a CCC. We recommend performing at least one endoscopic evaluation for those with difficulty catheterizing prior to proceeding with formal open revision.

Abstract
Cutaneous catheterizable channels allow for continent bladder emptying when an alternate route is desired. The goals of channel creation in the neurogenic bladder population are successful urine elimination, renal preservation, continence and lastly cosmesis. In addition to a particular surgeon's comfort and experience with a given procedure, individual patient factors such as medical comorbidities, anatomic factors, and occupational function should be central to the selection of a surgical approach. An ideal channel is one that is short, straight, and well supported by associated blood supply and surrounding adventitia, so as to minimize difficulty with catheterization. Two types of channel continence mechanisms are discussed at length in this review-the tunneled channel, and the nipple valve. The appendicovesicostomy (Mitrofanoff), and reconfigured ileum (Yang-Monti) are both tunneled channels. The ileocecal valve is a commonly used nipple valve and provides continence when reinforced. The continent catheterizable ileal cecocystoplasty (CCIC) is an example of this channel technique. This method couples a tapered ileal limb as a catheterizable channel, the ileocecal valve as the continence mechanism, and the cecum and ascending colon as a bladder augmentation. While this procedure has higher perioperative complications relative to a simple tunneled channel, it has increased channel length flexibility and is also coupled with a bladder augment, which is completely performed using one bowel segment. Continent channel creation in adults can improve quality of life and minimize morbidity associated with neurogenic bladder. However, the decision to proceed with creation of a catheterizable channel should be made only after careful consideration of the patient's medical comorbidities, physical abilities social support, and surgeon experience.
