Core Tip

Core Tip: Pregnancy following augmentation cystoplasty is relatively rare. Here, we report on a 30-year-old woman who underwent augmentation cystoplasty. We followed the patient from gestational week 32+3 until 6 wk after delivery. Our case, together with a relatively small amount of literature, suggests that women who undergo augmentation cystoplasty can have a healthy reproductive life.
