Abstract

Ureterocystoplasty (UCP) was first reported in 1973 and became popularized in the early 1990s. Since the 1990s, not only have the indications for UCP changed, but also the technique has been modified. The surgery involves incorporating a strip of dilated ureter into the bladder, providing a urothelium-lined augmented segment with muscular backing and good elasticity. As a result, the complications inherent in enterocystoplasty (ECP) are avoided. Although most published papers describing this technique have reported encouraging results, the number of patients enrolled was often in the single digits. In this chapter, we review what is known about UCP.
