Abstract
Use of vascularized gastric segments for augmentation cystoplasty and for construction of a continent urinary diversion depends on adequate blood supply via the right or left gastroepiploic vessels. Inadequate gastroepiploic vessels on 1 side may not be apparent without intraoperative testing for their patency. We recommend routine testing for the patency of the left and right gastroepiploic vessels before selecting the side to be used as a pedicle for the gastric segment.
