ゼラチンスポンジを用いた萎縮膀胱拡大術

抄録

Cystoplasty using gelatin sponge sprayed with Nobecutane was carried out in 4 cases of contracted bladder and one case of congenital hour-glass bladder. The operative technique is very simple and easy to perform. Although the operation failed in one case of contracted bladder, the result of the other 4 cases was excellent. Self-micturition was permitted after 2 weeks postoperatively. Satisfactory bladder capacity was gained and no residual urine. Biopsy of new bladder wall in one case of contracted bladder showed satisfactory epithelial and muscle regeneration.
