ABSTRACT
Since Tizzoni and Foggi anastamosed an ileal loop to the bladder neck of a dog in 1888 many forms of orthotopic bladder have been described.1 Voiding through the urethra is a natural desire for most patients, however, this must be balanced against the recognized difficulties in creating a new bladder from a section of bowel. While orthotopic bladder was originally introduced and popularized in men, the technique is now offered routinely to women.
