ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is exploring a new surgical technique called the Shanfield Implantation Technique, which aims to help children with bladder dysfunction. The study is looking at how this technique can improve bladder emptying for kids who have difficulty using the standard method of catheterization, which is when a thin tube is inserted into the bladder to help it empty. This trial is specifically for children who may have conditions that make it hard to use their urethra (the natural way to urinate) or who might need surgery to help them control their bladder better.

To be eligible for this trial, children must have neurogenic bladder dysfunction, which means their bladder doesn't work well due to nerve issues. They should also be unable or unwilling to use the usual method of catheterization. Kids with certain conditions, such as urethral valves or bladder exstrophy, might also participate. The trial is currently recruiting participants, and involved children can expect to undergo surgery that may help them manage their bladder more effectively. It's important for families to consider the potential benefits and risks of surgery, and to discuss any questions they have with their healthcare provider.
