The Mainz pouch with appendix-umbilical stoma is a very stable method for continent, self-catheterizable urinary reservoir in the presence of a healthy appendix. If the appendix is too short or an unexpected stenosis is seen at its distal portion, the elongation of the conduit using a part of the cecum and the implantation of the conduit to the pouch by the Mitrofanoff method can be a good alternative procedure. We herein report our experience in a 53-year-old male with high grade, invasive bladder tumor, who underwent cystourethrectomy and appendix Mainz pouch operation using the above technique.
