Mitrofanoff continental cystostomy

This book is dedicated to the surgical management of neurological bladder in children, and more specifically to continence urinary diversion using the Mitrofanoff technique. Indicated after failure of other less invasive therapies, this procedure aims to ensure continence, protect the upper urinary tract and improve quality of life, notably by facilitating socialization and schooling. While highlighting the functional and psychosocial benefits of this technique, the book also underlines possible complications and the need for long-term follow-up. Intended for pediatric surgeons, urologists, nephrologists and other healthcare professionals involved in the care of children with neurological bladders, it is a practical, up-to-date reference based on clinical experience and international literature.
