From August 1982 through March 1988, 531 patients have undergone continent urinary diversion using an ileal reservoir constructed according to the method of Kock. For the last 18 months we have used the principle of Kock reservoir construction for primary lower urinary tract reconstruction after cystectomy in 39 highly selected male patients by means of a ureteroileal urethrostomy. Early compli...

Unilateral single ectopic ureters associated with contra lateral renal agenesia and hypoplastic bladder are rare and difficult to treat. Urinary diversion is usually performed because of small bladder capacity. We report a case treated by staged operation without urinary diversion or bladder augmentation.

PURPOSE Robot-assisted laparoscopic radical cystectomy (RLRC) is a new option for the treatment of muscle-invasive bladder cancer, and case series for RLRC have been increasing recently. We report our operative technique and initial experiences with RLRC with extracorporeal urinary diversion. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between October 2008 and November 2009, 17 consecutive patients with muscle-inv...

INTRODUCTION We investigated the outcomes and quality of life measures in men who underwent cystectomy and urinary diversion for devastating lower urinary tract toxicity after prostatic radiotherapy and/or cryotherapy for the treatment of prostate cancer. METHODS Records of patients who underwent cystectomy and urinary diversion for the management of a devastated lower urinary tract following...

OBJECTIVE To present our experience in minimally invasive management of urinary tract stones in patients with urinary diversion. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 26 patients with urinary tract stones after cystectomy and urinary diversion. The types of urinary diversion were ileal conduit, colon conduit, ileal orthotopic neobladder in 19, 4, and 3 patients, respectively. At p...

Scott, J. E. S. (1973). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 48, 199. Urinary diversion in children. A series of 60 children subjected to urinary diversion is described. Particular emphasis is placed on the long-term results of 41 ileal conduit operations. The upper urinary tract became dilated postoperatively in 9 children in whom it had been normal preoperatively, dilatation increased in 1 child...

The convenient storage and evacuation of the urine'is essential to a tolerable existence. Surgical methods to restore these functions, 'when they have been lost as a result of congenital abnormality or acquired disease, have mostly been based on the principle of urinary diversion into some part of the intestinal tract, isolated or intact. The history of these attempts is an interesting one, and...

OBJECTIVE To present our experience in surgical management of urolithiasis in patients after urinary diversion. PATIENTS AND METHODS Twenty patients with urolithiasis after urinary diversion received intervention. Percutaneous nephrolithotomy, percutaneous based antegrade ureteroscopy with semi-rigid or flexible ureteroscope, transurethral reservoir lithotripsy, percutaneous pouch lithotripsy...
