TRANSCRIPT
Mitrofanoff Procedure
• 1980 Mitrofanoff reported use of appendix to attain continence in 16 children
• Produced a continent catheterizable vesicostomy stoma
• Implanted appendix into bladder wall via a subepithelial antirefluxing tunnel
• In conjunction with closure of the bladder neck
Mitrofanoff Procedure
Mitrofanoff Procedure
• Originally intended for children with
adequate bladder capacity without
functional urethral access
• Modified to include bladder augmentation
when small capacity poorly compliant
bladders (Weisgerber)
• Duckett & Snyder (1986) ileocecal reservoir
with appendiceal stoma
Mitrofanoff Procedure
• Technique:
– Appendix mobilized on mesentery preserving
blood supply
– Bladder neck transected and closed unless
external sphincter is competent (pop off valve)
– Appendix implanted into 4 - 5 cm subepithelial
tunnel
– Bladder augmentation used when capacity
limited
Mitrofanoff Procedure
• Technique:
– Bladder is anchored to anterior abdominal wall
to ensure ease of catheterization
– Appendix base is exteriorized and sutured to
skin
– Appendix intubated with 12F catheter for 2
weeks
Mitrofanoff Procedure
Mitrofanoff Procedure
• Indications for Mitrofanoff
– Intractable incontinence due to:
• Neuropathic Bladder
– Spinal Dysraphism
– Spinal Neuroblastoma
• Genitourinary Malformations
– Imperforated Anus
– Cloacal Anomalies
– Exstrophy - Epispadias Complex
Mitrofanoff Procedure
• Mitrofanoff reviewed long term results with
continent vesicostomies minimum 15 year
follow-up in 23 patients. 20 appendices, 2
ureter, 1 bladder tube
• Bladder augmentation 2 simultaneously, 8
later secondary procedure
• 5 patients had vesicoureteric reflux
Mitrofanoff Procedure
• Results:
– 1 death - post op infection - VP Shunt infection
– No metabolic disorders, malignancy, or
perforation
– 5 leakage bladder neck
– Renal deterioration - 10 - enterocystoplasty 6,
urinary diversion 4
– Bladder stones - 5 - 2 prior augmentation
Mitrofanoff Procedure
• Results:
– Stomal complications - stenosis or leakage
requiring revision - 11 and 1 noncontinent
diversion after revision
– After 10 years complications rare
– 16 patients stable and 6 noncontinent diversion
Mitrofanoff Procedure
• Results do not appear ideal, complications
occurred early during learning phase, no
diversions necessary since 1984
• Procedure that has a lasting efficiency
Mitrofanoff Procedure
• Reservoir complications - upper tract
deterioration early on in 4 and 1 due to
bladder calculi and slight upper tract change
• After 1982 - 5 bladder augmentation with
ileal segment - normalized upper tracts
• 1 case progressive renal deterioration, died
in end stage renal disease not compliant
with catheterization
Mitrofanoff Procedure
• Bladder Neck Recanalization - Repeat
procedure in 5 of 21 persistent leakage
• Vesicoureteral Reflux often due to high
vesical pressure, usually requires augment
and or ureteral reimplantation
• Bladder Lithiasis usually requires open
cystolithotomy as bladder neck closed
Mitrofanoff Procedure
• Small bowel obstruction -5 due to adhesions
in 2 and volvulus around vascular pedicle in
3
• Appendix necrosis 1 complete (obesity) and
one partial
• Stomal stenosis - 9 - 10 dilatations and 14
revisions
Mitrofanoff Procedure
• Continence achieved in >90 in most
published series independent of whether
appendix, ureter, or tapered ileum is used
• Stomal stenosis 12-30 % simple dilatation
may work, often need surgical revision,
injection triamcinolone may help, V flap
advancement into stoma appears to decrease
incidence
Mitrofanoff Procedure
• Bladder reconstruction necessary when poor
capacity, poor compliance and potential for
upper tract deterioration exists
• Augmentation provides increased capacity
and may be performed with catheterizable
channels to facilitate bladder emptying
Mitrofanoff Procedure
Mitrofanoff Procedure
• No ideal substitute for bladder augment
• Enterocystoplasty associated with• infection perforation
• mucous production intestinal obstruction
• electrolyte abnormalities lithiasis
• potential carcinogenicity
Mitrofanoff Procedure
• Principle extrapolated to create continent
stomas using:• Distal ureter (Weingarten & Cromie)
• Fallopian Tube (Woodhouse et al)
• Tapered ileum (Monti et al)
• Bladder wall (Rink et al)
• Cecostomy (Malone)
Mitrofanoff Procedure
• Demucosalized augments without urothelial
preservation results in fibrosis of the
augment and/or re-growth of the intestinal
mucosa and its inherent problems
Mitrofanoff Procedure
• Demucosalized gastric patch with urothelial
preservation prevents acid secretion and the
resultant hematuria dysuria syndrome and
alkalosis
• Auto-augmentation with detrusorrhaphy
with peritoneal covering of urothelium has
not led to improvement of bladder
compliance or capacity
Mitrofanoff Procedure
Mitrofanoff Procedure
• In patients with intractable fecal
incontinence, the Mitrofanoff principle may
be used to construct a continent conduit to
the bowel (MACE) to administer enemas in
an antegrade fashion into the cecum to clean
out the large bowel to attain continence
• Appendix , ileum, or cecostomy button have
been used
Mitrofanoff Procedure
• Using the MACE procedure fecal
incontinence rates and satisfaction has been
reported approaching 100
• In patients with both fecal and urinary
incontinence, we usually use the appendix
for the cecostomy and use a small piece of
ileum for the vesicostomy
Mitrofanoff Procedure
• Monti described use of a transversely
retubularized short segment of ileum for the
Mitrofanoff stoma in those patients without
an appendix or those requiring both a
MACE stoma as well as a continent
vesicostomy
Mitrofanoff Procedure
• Successful outcome of the Mitrofanoff
procedure relies upon careful surgical
technique and attention to detail
• Postoperative nursing care is essential,
catheters are left indwelling 3 - 4 weeks to
ensure proper healing of the stomas
• Elevation of the catheter tubing 25 cm
above the bladder assures urothelial
adherence to the demucosalized augment
Mitrofanoff Procedure
• Such procedures have revolutionized the
lives of many of our patients as they are
now quite independent,dry,and clean
• We are far from free of complications and
several patients have required revisions of
their stomas and bladder neck closures
• In addition we have had to revise 6
vesicostomies for urine leaks
Mitrofanoff Procedure
• Our urinary continence rate is 100% after
vesicostomy and bladder neck revisions
• Several patients are still having
catheterization problems which we will
have to correct
• Overall we are encouraged to continue with
the use of the Mitrofanoff Procedure
