RESUMEN
Bladder augmentation is beneficial in patients with neurogenic bladder due to spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, and tuberculous bladder. This retrospective study was done to determine the outcome of augmentation cystoplasty in adult patients with renal dysfunction. The study was done at the Sindh Institute of Urology and Transplantation (SIUT), Karachi from January 2010 till December 2019. A total of 153 patients underwent augmentation cystoplasty. Among these, 28 patients met the inclusion criteria of adult patients with age >18 years, and renal impairment at the time of the procedure. Exclusion criteria were patients with normal renal functions. Out of 28 patients, 17 (60%) showed improvement in renal functions post-augmentation cystoplasty, while 2 (7.14%) deteriorated and 9 (32.13%) patients showed static function in the same chronic kidney disease stages. Results from this study showed that augmentation cystoplasty is a safe operative procedure even in renal failure patients. It leads to improvement in renal functions in a significant number of patients. Key Words: Adults, Augmentation cystoplasty, Renal failure, Bladder compliance.
