a seven-year-old stallion with diversion of urinary pass to the thigh due to a urethral fistula caused by gunshot perineal injury was presented to the urmia university, veterinary teaching hospital. no signs of urinary obstruction or renal failure were observed. because of inaccessible location of the injured urethra, through a perineal urethrotomy incision, a urinary catheter was effectively a...

OBJECTIVE Urinary tract obstruction is one of the most prevalent diseases in urology. The handling of it includes conservative (analgesia and fluid therapy) and invasive (urinary diversion) measures. Ureteral stent is the method currently employed for urinary tract diversion. Complications of urinary tract stents maintenance have already been studied and are well known. We report a case of ur...

Orthotopic neobladder is a viable option for women undergoing cystectomy for bladder cancer, with excellent oncologic outcomes and a low incidence of urethral recurrence. Careful patient selection is important, as is developing a clear understanding by the patient and her family in what to expect with an orthotopic diversion. Surgical technique is also important in optimizing functional outcome...

OBJECTIVES To assess whether the detubularised isolated ureterosigmoidostomy (DIUS) technique is safe for urinary diversion after radical cystectomy. PATIENTS AND METHODS The study included 10 patients (mean age 61.8 years) with invasive bladder tumour, operated at the Alexandria University, Egypt. The diversion in all patients was through a DIUS, with ureteric reimplantation by an antireflux...

Two patients are described, both of whom developed heavy glomerular proteinuria in excess of 10 g/24 hr after urinary diversion operations.

BACKGROUND: The optimal mode of urinary tract reconstruction following cystectomy continues to challenge the urologic surgeon. Disadvantages with bowel conduits have prompted the search for better techniques to improve patient outcomes. METHODS: The development of urinary tract reconstruction is reviewed, and results from several forms of continent urinary diversion and bladder replacement cons...

Purpose: The type of urinary diversion after radical cystectomies for bladder cancer does not influence survival substantially, but it may influence the quality of life very much. The aim of this study was to asses the Mainz II (sigma pouch) as a new modification of uretrosigmoidostomy in our patients in comparison to the more commonly used rectal bladder diversion. Material and Methods: Twenty...
