RESUMO
OBJECTIVES: To describe 5 cases of ureteral bladder augmentation. METHODS: From may 1995 to september 1997, ureterocystoplasty was performed on 5 patients (3 males and 2 females), aged 2 to 18 years (mean 9.8). The mean follow-up was 16.6 months (range 4-28). RESULTS/CONCLUSION: Augmentation ureterocystoplasty has the beneficial effects of enterocystoplasty without the complications that may arise from the use of bowel segments. It is a simple surgical technique whose outcome depends entirely on careful patient selection.
