680 Robotic-Assisted Laparoscopic Ileocystoplasty and Mitrofanoff Appendicovesicostomy
Dr. David Kim
Augmentation ileocystoplasty is needed for patients who fail medical management of neurogenic bladders to protect the upper tracts. This procedure is typically done using an open approach. We present a step-by-step video of the robotic-assisted laparoscopic ileocystoplasty and Mitrofanoff appendicovesicostomy with modifications. Robotic-assisted laparoscopic ileocystoplasty is a feasible approach and our modifications have helped make it a viable alternative for open augmentation ileocystoplasty.
