Ileal bladder augmentation combined with ileal ureter replacement in advanced urogenital tuberculosis.

We report a case of active tuberculosis associated with a right nonfunctioning kidney and nearly total loss of bladder capacity. Percutaneous nephrostomy and right nephroureterectomy were performed while the patient was undergoing triple drug therapy. Definitive surgical treatment consisted of ileal bladder augmentation and ileal ureter replacement. Normal urodynamics of the upper urinary tract and normal voiding with complete return of bladder capacity were achieved. Metabolic acidosis was treated successfully by sodium hydrogen carbonate.
