Abstract

Enterocystoplasty complications related to the presence of intestinal mucous presence in the bladder are well known and well reported in the literature. Mechanical problems in the intestinal tract due to using gut for bladder augmentation are not as well recognised. We analyzed three cases of children treated by ileocystoplasty who presented an intestinal volvulus in two cases and a cecal volvulus in one case around the vascular pedicle of the intestinal patch used for bladder augmentation.
