Application of urodynamics combined with contrast‐enhanced ultrasound in evaluation of the urinary tract in patients with low bladder compliance and vesicoureteric reflux who underwent bladder augmentation alone

Abstract We assessed the use of common urodynamics (CUD) combined with contrast‐enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) to investigate the efficacy and durability of sigmoid cystoplasty alone in patients with low bladder compliance associated with vesicoureteric reflux (VUR). In this study, we recruited 25 patie...

description Abstract We assessed the use of common urodynamics (CUD) combined with contrast‐enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) to investigate the efficacy and durability of sigmoid cystoplasty alone in patients with low bladder compliance associated with vesicoureteric reflux (VUR). In this study, we recruited 25 patients with low bladder compliance and VUR who underwent bladder augmentation without antireflux surgery at our institutions between June 2017 and June 2021. The bladder condition and VUR grade were assessed preoperatively and postoperatively via CUD combined with CEUS. The mean follow‐up period was 2.6 years. CUD showed significant improvement in bladder capacity and compliance and a decrease in intravesical pressure after sigmoid cystoplasty. CEUS demonstrated resolution of VUR compared with preoperative assessment. Of the 25 patients who had various degrees of reflux, VUR was eliminated in 18 patients and reduced to a lower grade in the remaining seven patients. CUD combined with CEUS is accurate and safe. They are invaluable and reliable tools for morphological and functional evaluations of the entire urinary tract in patients with low bladder compliance and VUR.
