Abstract
The use of intestinal segments in urology is frequent; in these patients, intestinal continuity is restored with mechanic stapling sutures. This technique is attractive because is fast and prevents intestinal content spillage. However, this anastomosis may not be functional, leading to transit problems. In addition, staples left in the loop used for bladder reconstruction may cause stones. We compared immediate and long-term complications in patients undergoing augmentation enterocystoplasty (with or without an abdominal stoma) or continent urinary diversion using either mechanical or manual intestinal sutures.
