Summary Clam enterocystoplasty has been used successfully in the treatment of refractory urge incontinence. We report 31 patients who underwent ileocystoplasty between 1982 and 1989. The majority of patients were pleased with the outcome of the operation. The main post‐operative complication was voiding dysfunction due to relative bladder outflow obstruction. Urinary tract infection and mucus production were significant long‐term problems.
