[Tuberculous microbladder. Ileocystoplasty for enlargement].

We have had occasion to treat 8 patients suffering from tuberculous microbladder on whom we carried out augmentation plasty with a segment of ileum according to Ring-plasty technique in 6 cases, and with U-morphology in the other two, all displayed as the main symptom increase in mictional frequency. Six patients were subjected to prior tuberculostatic treatment. Mictional frequency improved in all patients. We observed morphological improvement in seven patients and functional improvement in four, there was one death, in a patients who had only been having prior tubculostatic treatment for one month. Daytime continence was achieved in al cases and there was nocturnal incontinence in five patients. U or ring ileocystoplasties are simple fast techniques displaying good capacity with low pressures and residua of less than 80 cc. No vesicourethral reflux was observed when we carried out the reimplantation.
