THE TREATMENT OF INTERSTITIAL CYSTITIS WITH SUPRATRIGONAL CYSTECTOMY AND ILEOCYSTOPLASTY: DIFFERENCE IN OUTCOME BETWEEN CLASSIC AND NONULCER DISEASE

Abstract

Our study confirms that supratrigonal cystectomy with ileocystoplasty results in a good outcome in classic interstitial cystitis. However, this method seems to be unsuitable for nonulcer disease. Identification of the relevant subtype of interstitial cystitis is of crucial importance for selecting the appropriate method of lower urinary tract reconstruction.
