    Abstract:
    UNLABELLED: Substitution of the bladder with segment of the digestive tract, within the radical treatment of bladder cancer, as well as treatment of the other bladder abnormality, is extremely demanding surgical procedure, that aims adequate treatment of the underlying disease and provide patient's renal function within physiological level. Surgical implantation of the ureter into the intestinal segment are an important part of the surgical technique, the formation of ileal conduit, with the ultimate aim of providing a more natural way of evacuation of urine from the upper urinary tract in terms of maintaining the adequate quality of renal function. Which of the existing surgical method of implantation of ureter in the intestinal segment will be applied, it is for urologist to decided, according to his affinity and/or his operating school of origin. The literature describes many procedures of this technique (Wallace A, B Wallace, Nesbit-Bricker, Le Duc). Bearing in mind that the ileal conduit, as a form of supravesical derivation, is still one of most widely used method of urinary diversion, with a very large number of patients during the follow-up period were recorded certain complications of renal function disorders, which by some authors attributed to a type of ureterointestinal anastomoses, during the creation of ileal conduit. Having in mind the fact of unnatural route of elimination of urine from the upper urinary tract that occurs during creation of ileal conduit, it is reasonable to expect some degree of renal deterioration. These complications require prompt resolution. Bearing in mind the fact of unnatural route of elimination of urine from the upper urinary tract that occurs during creation of ileal conduit, it is reasonable to expect that the renal function over the time will start to show signs of incipient or advanced failure. OBJECTIVE: The main objective is to show the degree of renal deterioration, postoperatively, according to the type of insertion of the ureters to the ileal conduit. METHODS AND PATIENTS: The study was conducted retrospectively on material of Urological Clinic, Clinical Center of Serbia and on material of Faculty of Medicine, University of Belgrade, on 193 patients, for a period of five years (2007 to 2011), with a time of postoperative follow-up of patients up to 48 months (four years). Assessment of the level of renal deteriorisation was performed by ultrasound examination during regular audits of patients during follow-up. CONCLUSION: It was found that all three examed techniques in an insertion of ureter into ileal conduit were equally satisfactorily, with the similar degree of postoperative complications. Based on these facts, we can conclude, that the quality of life of patients in all three analyzed groups of ureteral insertion in the ileal conduit, approximately the same.
