Urinary diversion after extirpative surgery of the bladder is done by various methods. Conduit urinary diversion is the most commonly practiced method of urinary diversion. It is relatively easy to perform and has a lower complication rate than other forms of diversion, e.g., orthotopic neobladder and continent cutaneous urinary diversion. Urolithiasis is a known and common complication of urin...

I am deeply indebted to the radiologists of the Royal Victoria Hospital, and in particular to Doctor D. C. Porter, for a great deal of help and advice, as well as for the X-ray examinations. I am obliged to the visiting medical staff of the Belfast City Hospital who have kindly allowed me to use their notes and X-rays in some cases. I owe the haematological examinations to Doctor M. G. Nelson a...

PURPOSE To study the long term complications of ileal conduit urinary diversion in 36 patients with invasive urinary bladder cancer who lived more than 5 years after surgery. PATIENTS AND METHODS A retrospective study included 36 long term survivors (survival 5 years or greater) with invasive bladder cancer who did radical cystectomy or anterior pelvic excentration with ileal conduit urinary ...

inTrodUcTion Radical cystectomy for bladder and urinary diversion is considered the gold standard for treatment of muscular invasive bladder cancer or high‐risk nonmuscular invasive bladder cancer. Urinary diversion is usually classified into three types: orthotopic neobladder, ileal conduit or sigmoid conduit, and cutaneous ureterostomy.[1] Orthotopic neobladder is a better choice for urinary ...

Urinary diversion involves providing an alternate path for urine to exit the body other than the normal ureter, bladder, urethra route. This can be accomplished by creating a pouch for collecting urine that then exits through a stoma, or by diverting the ureters to a stoma and allowing urine to free-flow through an opening in the abdomen. The first urinary diversion involved creation of a fistu...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this article is to discuss and illustrate the MDCT findings of potential complications after cystectomy and urinary diversion. CONCLUSION Multiple complications may occur after urinary diversion. Tumor recurrence is a major concern in patients with bladder cancer. CT has an important role in postoperative evaluation of patients with urinary diversion to identify corre...

While renal dysfunction is often observed in patients following urinary diversion due to bladder cancer, there have been few studies on this subject. A cross-sectional study was performed on the renal function of ileal conduit urinary diversion patients and the prevalence and risk factors for chronic kidney disease (CKD) were examined. Patients with ileal conduit urinary diversion (n=102), who ...

We evaluate the efficacy of ESWL in the management of calculi in patients with urinary diversion. We treated 5 patients who suffered from urinary lithiasis after urinary diversion post cistectomy. We managed the patients with extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy in monotherapy with a Siemens Lithostar Modularis device. Mean stone size (long axis) was 1.95 cm (range 1 to 3.5 cm). The mean shock...

Small cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder (SCCUB) is a rare, aggressive variant of neuroendocrine nonepithelial tumor. The best treatment results are achieved by combined cystectomy and chemotherapy. Same as in urothelial bladder cancer, a question remains about the urinary diversion in locally advanced disease. Studies on surgical treatment of patients with SCCUB most often do not clearly sp...
