Summary‐The encouraging success of partial replacement of the bladder for interstitial cystitis and for contracted bladder due to tuberculosis, and the relative success of total bladder replacement for carcinoma, prompted an attempt to reconstruct a bladder in 2 patients with neuropathic bladders, who had problems with their ileal conduit and, thus, “undivert” them. Bladder reconstruction in these patients was performed using a modified technique of colocystoplasty. One of the patients has had 2 normal pregnancies since colocystoplasty.
