Augmentation lleocystoplasty Treatment in India
About Augmentation lleocystoplasty
Key Highlights
-
Significantly increases bladder capacity and compliance.Redves high bladder pressure, protecting the upper urinary tract (kidneys) from damage.Can dramatically improve urinary continence and quality of life.Often eliminates or reduces the need for frequent catheterization in some patients.Uses the patient's own tissue (autologous graft), minimizing rejection risks.
Who is this surgery for?
- Neurogenic bladder dysfunction from spinal cord injury, spina bifida, or multiple sclerosis.
- Severe, refractory overactive bladder or interstitial cystitis.
- Bladder contracture (a small, scarred bladder) from radiation, surgery, or chronic inflammation.
- Congenital bladder anomalies like bladder exstrophy or cloacal malformations.
- Failed conservative management with medications, Botox injections, or neuromodulation.
How to prepare
- Comprehensive urodynamic testing to precisely define bladder function.
- Imaging studies like an ultrasound or CT scan to evaluate kidney health and anatomy.
- Bowel preparation (clear liquid diet, laxatives) to clean the intestinal segment to be used.
- Pre-operative counseling on lifelong post-surgery catheterization routines if needed.
- Discontinuation of blood-thinning medications (e.g., aspirin, warfarin) as advised by the doctor.
- Pre-operative anesthesia evaluation and clearance.
Risks & possible complications
- Standard surgical risks: bleeding, infection, blood clots, and anesthesia complications.
- Bowel-related issues: bowel obstruction, leakage at the intestinal connection, or prolonged ileus.
- Metabolic changes due to intestinal segment absorbing urine (e.g., acidosis).
- Mucus production in the augmented bladder, which can clog catheters.
- Urinary tract infections and stone formation in the new bladder.
- Rare risk of bladder rupture or perforation.
- Potential for incomplete improvement or persistent incontinence.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Initial hospital stay of 5-10 days for monitoring, pain management, and ensuring bowel function returns.
- Urinary catheters and abdominal drains remain in place for 1-3 weeks post-surgery.
- Patients are taught clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) to empty the new bladder, often required lifelong.
- Strict adherence to a scheduled voiding or catheterization regimen to prevent over-distension.
- Gradual return to light activities over 4-6 weeks; heavy lifting is restricted for 2-3 months.
- Long-term follow-up includes regular urine checks, blood tests for acidosis, and periodic imaging.

Neha Roy, a 42-year-old graphic designer...
Neha Roy, a 42-year-old graphic designer and mother of two, had her life upended by a spinal cord injury from a car accident five years prior. She developed neurogenic bladder, leading to low bladder capacity and high storage pressures. Despite trying anticholinergic medications and intermittent self-catheterization, she suffered from frequent, painful urinary tract infections, debilitating bladder spasms, and constant anxiety about incontinence leaks. Her urologist, concerned about the risk of long-term kidney damage from the high pressures, recommended augmentation ileocystoplasty. The procedure involved using a segment of her small intestine to surgically enlarge her bladder. The recovery in the hospital was challenging, with initial pain and adjusting to a new catheter routine. However, over six months, Neha's life transformed. Her bladder capacity tripled, infections ceased, and the agonizing spasms disappeared. Emotionally, she journeyed from feeling broken and tethered to her condition to reclaiming her independence. The procedure gave her the freedom to focus on her family and career again, replacing fear with profound relief and gratitude.
