Decades of data: does this bladder surgery stand the test of time for spinal cord injury?

NCT ID NCT04936217

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This completed study from France reviewed the long-term results of a surgery called continent cutaneous urinary diversion in 70 spinal cord injury patients. The surgery creates a new way to drain urine through the belly when patients cannot use a catheter normally. Researchers collected medical records and conducted phone surveys to see how well the procedure worked over time and what complications occurred.

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

continent cutaneous urinary diversion (Mitrofanoff/Yang-Monti/Casale procedure)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could confirm that this surgical technique is a reliable long-term option for bladder management in spinal cord injury patients who cannot use a catheter through the urethra.

What could go wrong

This is a small, completed observational study with no control group, so results may not apply to all patients. It only collects existing data and does not test a new treatment.
