“…If the implantation of an anterior root stimulator or application of Botulinum toxin A is chosen as a therapy option, the ability to measure the urinary volume would clearly mean an optimization of the respective therapy form [Sauerwein, 1990;Schurch et al, 1996Schurch et al, , 2000Venn and Mundy, 2000;Burns et al, 2001;Chartier-Kastler et al, 2002;Lowe et al, 2002].…”

In our animal model, the above-described US system proved tantamount with other external US measuring units and presented a precise and low-artefact system, allowing reliable measuring of the urinary volume with good chances of preserving these positive qualities over time. We expect that clinical application of this system may help to determine the optimal voiding time and thus to avoid bladder over-extension and damage to the urinary tract over time.

The use of graft materials in bladder mucosa has been examined in animal models, but debate exists over which materials are effective. Intestine has been used as a substitute in augmentation cystoplasty for patients with neuropathic bladder, but serious adverse effects of the operation have occurred in some instances. We report a case of a successful repair of an enterovesical fistula by use of bovine pericardium. The patient has remained well for 2.5 years. We suggest that bovine pericardium may be a suitable option as a bladder substitute.

“…Of these, seeded or non-seeded intestine is regarded as the gold standard, although it has been associated with such complications as metabolic acidosis, recurrent infections, calculi, and the risk of cancer [79,80]. The natural function and structure of the bladder has been a great obstacle to finding an appropriate substitute.…”

Introduction: The use of pericardium has been expanded into different surgical modalities; however, there are scarce data regarding the feasibility of the pericardium in reconstructive urologic surgeries. We systematically reviewed the literature on the effectiveness of the pericardial tissue for reconstructive urologic surgeries. Materials and Methods: PubMed and Scopus were searched online for evidence on the use of the pericardium in urologic surgeries. Through the methodology recommended by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis guidelines, 38 of 4,071 studies were identified. Results: A total of 715 patients and 139 animals underwent reconstructive urologic surgeries using the pericardium. Bladder, urethral, and renal reconstructions were successful in 100% of the human cases. The rates of dissatisfaction, glans hypoesthesia, and penile shortening were comparable between the pericardial graft surgeries and the other operations during penile straightening, but there was a trend among the patients with pericardial grafts toward having a more penile curvature at follow-up (risk ratio [RR] 2.03, 95% CI 0.90–4.61, p = 0.09; I² = 0%). Among the animal studies, there were 4 reports of penile reconstruction, 7 studies of bladder reconstruction, and 1 study of urethroplasty. Bladder reconstruction and urethroplasty were successful in 83 and 20% of the animals, respectively. The pooled result of the stimulated intracorporeal pressure 5 V significantly favored pericardial grafts during penile reconstruction (RR 2.61, 95% CI 1.26–3.97, p = 0.0002; I² = 0%). Conclusions: Our systematic review demonstrates the feasibility of the pericardium, regardless of its type, in urologic surgeries. It, however, seems that urethral substitution needs further investigation. Given the lower cost, easier handling, and less immunogenicity of the pericardium, further studies are required to examine its pros and cons.
