Summary
The ideal urinary reservoir constructed from bowel material should be a low-pressure system with a high capacity, capable of preventing upper tract deterioration resulting from ureteral obstruction or reflux. It should achieve reliable control of continence and assure easy emptying of the reservoir. In the Mainz-pouch, the combination of cecum and ileum, the latter of which is able to absorb pressure waves created by the cecum, produces a low-pressure system with a high capacity immediately postoperatively. By incorporating large bowel in our pouch, ureteral implantation can be done using a simple and reliable standard antireflux technique with a submucosal tunnel. The Mainz-pouch has been done since 1983 in 26 patients. Of these 11 were for bladder augmentation after subtotal cystectomy and 15 for continent urinary diversion. All of the patients with bladder augmentation are completely dry day and night; 2 patients with myelomeningocele are on intermittent catheterization for bladder evacuation. The remainder void spontaneously without significant residual urine. Of 15 patients with Mainz-pouch urinary diversion, 4 had an alloplastic stomal prosthesis implanted for control of continence and 11 have isoperistaltic ileo-ileal invagination, where by the invagination valve can easily be fixed to the intussuscepting ileum by sutures or staples. Of the 4 alloplastic stomal prostheses, 2 have been removed because of infection. In 1 of these patients, an ileo-ileal invagination was performed in the same operation to achieve continent closure. All patients with the invagination valve, as well as the 2 patients with an alloplastic stomal prosthesis, are completely continent, but in 3 cases, revision of the ileo-ileal invagination became necessary due to prolapse of the valve.
