Long‐term results and complications of augmentation ileocystoplasty for idiopathic urge incontinence in women

Abstract

Augmentation ileocystoplasty is a valuable alternative for women with intractable urge incontinence. However, these patients and their physicians should be aware of its limitations, specifically the possibility that incontinence may persist and the high probability of the need for self-catheterization, with potential subsequent urinary tract infection.
