The bladder is accessed through a Pfannensteil rectus splitting incision, and a small open cystotomy is performed following retrograde bladder distension. The inner silicone tube, with a few small perforations, is inserted into the bladder, and the outer polytetrafluoroethylene tube is secured onto the blader wall with 4-0 Vicryl sutures.
