Mitrofanoff principle

In urology, the Mitrofanoff principle is the creation of a passageway for urine or enema fluid that, by its (surgical) construction, has a valve mechanism to allow continence.

Procedures which make use of the Mitrofanoff principle:

• Mitrofanoff procedure
• Malone antegrade continence enema
• Monti procedure

Eponym

It is named after the French urologist (Mitrofanoff) who popularized it.
