ABSTRACT
Overactive bladder (OAB) is a highly prevalent syndrome defined as "urinary urgency, usually accompanied by frequency and nocturia with or without urgency urinary incontinence, in the absence of urinary tract infection or other obvious pathology." It is known to generate a large degree of bother and can lead to significant morbidity. Augmentation cystoplasty (AC) historically has been reserved for patients refractory to conservative management. Over time, the treatment options for OAB have grown. We now have multiple pharmacological agents approved by the US Food and Drug Administration to treat OAB. In addition, neuromodulation and botulinum toxin now are viable options for patients who have suboptimal outcomes after treatment with anticholinergics and/or pelvic floor behavioral therapy. This may suggest that AC no longer is utilized as a mainstay therapy for OAB. However, despite these many possible treatment options, AC remains an important, time-tested tool in the armamentarium of the urologist to combat the patient with refractory OAB.
