What this trial studies
This study evaluates the effectiveness of the Shanfield implantation technique during the Mitrofanoff procedure in pediatric patients with bladder dysfunction. The Mitrofanoff procedure allows for bladder emptying through a surgically created channel, which can be particularly beneficial for children who struggle with traditional catheterization methods. The study aims to provide a viable alternative for those unable to use the urethra due to various medical conditions. By focusing on children with neurogenic bladder dysfunction, the research seeks to improve their quality of life and urinary management.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates include children with neurogenic bladder dysfunction who cannot use the urethra for catheterization.
Not a fit: Patients who are clinically unfit for surgery or have previously undergone a traditional Mitrofanoff procedure may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly enhance bladder management options for children with neurogenic bladder dysfunction.
How similar studies have performed: While the Mitrofanoff procedure has been established, the specific application of the Shanfield technique in this context is less common and may offer novel insights.
Eligibility criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * children with neurogenic bladder dysfunction, as an alternative route for catheterization for those who are unable or unwilling to utilize the native route being sensate urethra. * in cases where bladder neck closure or reconstruction is necessary to achieve continence. * Patients with urethral valves, prune belly syndrome and bladder exstrophy, performed either as an isolated procedure enabling patients to perform clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) or in relation with concomitant bladder augmentation Exclusion Criteria: patients clinically unfit for surgery patients underwent previous traditional Mitroffanof procedure \-
