Monti Procedure
The Monti Procedure (pronounced: mon-tee pro-see-jur), also known as the Monti Channel or Mitrofanoff Principle, is a surgical procedure used in the field of Urology. It was first described by Dr. Paulo Monti in 1997.
Etymology
The procedure is named after its inventor, Dr. Paulo Monti, a Brazilian urologist. The term "Mitrofanoff Principle" is derived from the name of the French surgeon Paul Mitrofanoff, who first described a similar procedure in 1980.
Procedure
The Monti Procedure is a type of continent urinary diversion that creates a conduit from the bladder to the skin surface, allowing for clean intermittent catheterization. It is often used in patients with neurogenic bladder or other conditions that make normal urination difficult or impossible. The conduit is typically created from a small piece of the patient's own intestine, although other materials can also be used.
