  • Title: Selection of the type of urinary diversion in conjunction with radical cystectomy.
    Author: Montie JE, Pontes JE, Smyth EM.
    Journal: J Urol; 1987 Jun; 137(6):1154-5. PubMed ID: 3586145.
    Abstract:
    Several different methods of urinary diversion currently are available for use in conjunction with radical cystectomy. The method of urinary diversion performed at the time of radical cystectomy was reviewed for patients undergoing surgery from April 1984 through March 1986. A total of 91 urinary diversions was performed. Of the patients 74 per cent had a diversion with an external appliance (including 68 per cent with an ileal conduit), 14 per cent had a continent urinary reservoir (Kock pouch) and 11 per cent had an internal reservoir anastomosed to the urethra and, thus, avoided any stoma. There are inherent disadvantages to each form of urinary diversion and patient selection will be important to identify the most appropriate method of diversion for an individual.
