Fluoroscopy - Retrograde cystography
What is the most common technique for augmentation cystoplasty in adults?
Ileocystoplasty is a common bladder augmentation procedure. The small bowel is often preferred due to ease of handling, but in some cases, a colonic conduit may be better, such as after pelvic radiotherapy. Gastric segments were once popular, especially in children, but are now less common due to higher risks.
By injecting the contrast media through a suprapubic catheter, post-operative changes due to augmentation cystoplasty (ileocystoplasty) are seen, including a small non-expanded cavity in the anterior aspect of the urinary bladder.
No sign of contrast media leakage and vesicoureteric reflux are seen.
Post-voiding residue is more than normal limits.
