[Initial experiences with the Camey bladder].

The construction of a new continent reservoir after cystectomy has been a major attempt of urological surgery during recent years. We have employed an ileal conduit which was anastomosed to the urethra according to Camey in 10 patients. Two patients died postoperatively because of complications. Eight left the hospital with a sufficiently working new bladder. Capacity, flow, bladder emptying and continence were satisfactory. The results are presented in detail. Most patients were incontinent to some degree during the night. This was handled by micturition, pads and condom urinals. All patients were content with the result. The longest follow up time is 2 years.
