Retrospective analysis compares functional outcomes and complications of ureter vs. appendiceal Mitrofanoff channels, suggesting similar effectiveness.

Key Points

This study aims to compare the functional outcomes and complications of ureteral and appendiceal Mitrofanoff channels in urinary diversion.
Retrospective review of patients who underwent Mitrofanoff channel creation from January 2020 to June 2024.
Group A consisted of patients using a ureter as the Mitrofanoff channel, while Group B used the appendix.
Data were collected on demographics, operative details, complications, and continence outcomes.
The study included 44 patients, with a median age of 13 years in Group A and 10 years in Group B.
54.4% of Group A achieved satisfactory clean intermittent catheterization without complications, compared to 57.5% in Group B.
Stomal stenosis was more frequent in Group B (18.2% vs. 9.1%), while meatal granuloma was more common in Group A (27.3% vs. 9.1%).
