Abstract
The author reports on 15 patients with bladder-sigma anastomosis. The post-operative complications and late results up to a period of 10 years are discussed. Irreparable urethral strictures and bladder exstrophies are indications for this operation. It is only with reserve that it can be recommended for contracted bladder. According to the authors' experience and information by others, pyelonephritis and electrolyte disturbances seem to be rare complications. Because of the small number of cases a definite judgement of the method and its long-term consequences for the urinary system is not possible yet.
