Clean intermittent catheterization has been shown to be a safe and effective means of regular vesical emptying in children with neurogenic bladders secondary to myelomeningocele. The major benefits appear to be the protection of the upper urinary tract, and in many children, improved urinary control. In contrast, the ileal conduit has been shown to produce significant long-term complications; the major one is deterioration of the upper urinary tract. Most children with myelomeningocele begin life with normal kidneys. Our goal of therapy, therefore, is a continent independent child with normal renal function. With proper patient selection, clean intermittent catheterization offers an excellent means of achieving this result in many children; the ileal conduit for permanent urinary diversion in children is outmoded.
