Abstract

In the period from 2001 through 2004 plasty of the urinary bladder was performed in 24 patients using a. et v. gastroepyploici dexter. Mean age of the patients (18 men and 6 women) was 58.2 years. Gastrocystoplasty in 18 patients was performed after radical cystectomy for urinary bladder cancer, in 6 patients for neurogenic and small urinary bladder. The authors' original modification with a complete transversal resection of the stomach body taken together with the lesser curvature was used in operations on 10 patients. Early postoperative complications developed in one patient, late ones--in two patients, there were no lethal outcomes. Positive functional results were noted in all patients within the terms of observations from 2 through 22 months. Good quality of life was noted in all of them.
