    Author: Lieskovsky G, Boyd SD, Skinner DG.
    Journal: J Urol; 1987 Jun; 137(6):1146-50. PubMed ID: 3295301.
    Abstract:
    Urinary diversion via the continent ileal reservoir has been performed at our institution since 1982. During a 3-year period 250 patients have sought this procedure as an alternative to other forms of cutaneous urinary diversion. We analyzed our data in terms of late complications resulting directly from the operation or from this form of urinary diversion. In this context 77 of the 245 patients who survived the operation have suffered 1 or more late complications, requiring 85 reoperations. The late complications mainly have involved problems with continence or ease of catheterization and they were detected within 6 months. We report our experience and describe the technical aspects of treatment.
