The failure may be due to the diverticulum's ischemia of the as well as the shrink of mucosa in the early postoperative period. We investigate if the use of a silicone balloon (Silimed®) inside the bladder after auto augmentation could prevent shrink and ischemia of the mucosa thus improving surgical results. METHODS We have compared our results of standard bladder auto augmentation carried in a group of 12 neurogenic bladder children (group I) with another group of 10 children submitted to the same surgery using a bladder conformer (group II). The bladder conformer was a silicon balloon filled with 50 to 100 ml of saline left inside the bladder for two weeks. The balloon had a conduct and a port to allow its removal. The main indication for surgery in all patients was poor bladder compliance resulting urinary leakage between intermittent catheterism. Four patients in group one and two in group two had upper urinary tract dilation (UUTD). Pre and postoperative evaluation included a voiding diary, ultrasound and urodynamics. RESULTS Mean follow-up is 61.4 months (range 42 to 132 months). In the group I just one patient becomes dry, 4 presented little improvement in continence, four remained unchanged and three got worse. In group II 6 patients become continent without medication (60%), 2 (20%) become continent with oxybutinin and 2 remained unchanged. Bladder capacity in group two changed from 140 ml (mean) to 240 ml (mean) and the compliance increased from 15.6 ± 16.8 ml/cmH2O to 34.3 ± 22.8 ml/cmH2O; p = 0.02. From the four patients with UUTD in group I just one showed improvement. In group II the two patients showed regression of the dilation. No significant complications were observed in any patient. CONCLUSIONS The use of a bladder silicone model significantly improved our results with bladder auto-augmentation in a long term follow up. A larger number of patients may be necessary to confirm this procedure as a safe and effective alternative to bladder in order to reduce surgical morbidity.
