HISTOLOGICAL STUDY OF ISOLATED ILEAL SEGMENTS UTILIZED FOR ILEOCYSTOPLASTY

Abstract

Isolated ileal segments used for ileocystoplasty were studied histologically.
Specimens were obtained from 7 cases (3 Scheele's method, 1 Cat-tail method and 3 Goodwin's method) at the time of reoperation or autopsy.
Histologic appearance of ileal segments from the cases operated by Scheele's method showed slight changes on the structure of the intestinal mucosa except interstitial edema and evident infiltration with cells associated with inflammation.
On the other hand, on the specimens from the cases of cat-tail method and Goodwin's method remarkable mucosal changes, showing partly metaplasia-like appearance, are seen with marked cell infiltration.
