- Abstract
The article focuses on the simplified orthotopic ileocaecal pouch called Mainz pouch for bladder substitution. The main indication for orthotopic bladder substitution to the urethra is bladder cancer, when cystoprostatectomy allows preservation of the sphincteric urethra. Whether suturing or stapling of the pouch is used depends primarily on bowel diameter and secondly on the surgeon's preference. In children and patients with a small diameter of small bowel and/or caecum and ascending colon, the standard sutured technique is preferable. In all others, it depends on the surgeon's preference.
