Regurgitation of food by rumination has rarely been reported in latency-age children. A 7-year-old boy had symptoms of rumination, gagging, bruxism, and enuresis. During the oppositional stage of development many unresolved conflicts had developed between the patient and his parents. Short-term psychotherapy which focused on resolution of the power struggles produced rapid remission of the symptoms. A two-year follow-up showed no recurrence of difficulty.

Continent diversion with the modified rectal bladder was done in 83 patients and 65 are currently evaluable with followup ranging from 6 to 36 months. There was no postoperative mortality and the morbidity rate was acceptable. Renal function and configuration were maintained in most patients (91%). Dessusception of the colorectal valve was observed in 7.6% of the patients. Evidence was provided that this valve is effective in prevention of regurgitation of the rectal contents to the proximal colon. All patients were continent during the day. Enuresis was noted in 6 patients and all of them responded to imipramine hydrochloride therapy. The results support earlier observations that the procedure offers distinct advantages over ureterosigmoidostomy and the simple rectal bladder.

The procedure was designed to overcome some problems seen with uterosigmoidostomy (with a submucosal tunnel), namely obstructions at the anastomotic site, nocturnal enuresis, metabolic acidosis and tumorogenesis. A colo-rectal valve isolates the rectal bladder to prevent regurgitation of urine, an anti-reflux technique is used for ureteric implantation and the rectum is patched with ileum to improve urodynamics and provide better compliance and continence, particularly at night. A second intussusception valve creates zero reflux and extremely low strictures, while also solving problems with dilated ureters. The double-folded rectosigmoid pouch has several advantages: it is a relatively simple procedure requiring no staples, it produces an anti-reflux mechanism suitable for normal or dilated ureters and provides a high-capacity reservoir. It does, however, create metabolic acidosis, and there is the possibility of future carcinogenesis, which may be prevented if NSAIDs are given.
