Objective: The aim of this study is to share our single-center experience of Augmentation Cystoplasty (AC) in children regarding indications, bowel segment used, associated procedures, and its complications. Materials and Methods: We analyzed data of all pediatric patients who underwent AC at Institute of Kidney Diseases (IKD), Peshawar between July 2017 and March 2020. Results: A total of 18 pediatric patients are included in the study who underwent Bladder augmentation (BA) either isolated in 1 (5.5%), or along with other associated procedures like Mitrofanoff 17 (94.4%), Antegrade Continent Enema (ACE) 6 (33.3%), Bladder Neck Reconstruction (BNR) 5 (27.7%) and Bilateral ureteric Re-implantation (B/L UR) in 3 (16.6%). Indication for Bladder augmentation were Neurogenic bladder (NGB) 13 (72.2%), Exstrophy Epispadias Complex (EEC) 3 (16.6%) and Posterior urethral value with small functional capacity bladder 2 (11.1%). Small gut used in 15 (83.3%) and large gut in 3 (16.6%) for BA. For Mitrofanff associated with bladder augmentation, Appendix was used in 14 (82.35%) and small gut (Monti) in 3 (17.6%) cases. For ACE associated with BA, in 4 (66.6%) Appendix used as right-sided ACE and in 2 (33.3%) small gut (Monti) as left-sided ACE. No intraoperative complications noted, while early post-op complications, 2 wound infection and 1 urinary leakage from wound, were noted in 3(16.6%) cases and late post-op complications (stomal stenosis) in 4(22.2%) patients.
