Neobladder “Belgrade pouch”: Metabolic consideration by Bančević Vladimir, Aleksić Predrag, Stamenković Dušica, Pejčić Tomislav, Milović Novak, Kovačević Božidar, Cerović Snežana

“…The ileal neobladder should be a lowpressure reservoir with acceptable volume and relatively small resorptive surface. A larger inner surface of the ileal pouch is associated with the high resorption of urine metabolites through intestinal mucosa and systemic metabolic disturbances, while a too small pouch results in a higher frequency of voiding and incontinency. …”
