A 55-year followup of a patient with bilateral ureterosigmoidostomy

We report on a patient with bilateral ureterosigmoidostomy who, despite many of the long-term complications associated with the procedure, was doing well 55 years after urinary diversion. This is one of the longest follow-ups reported in the literature. Despite the decreasing popularity of ureterosigmoidostomy, in well selected patients who desire a continent form of internal diversion it may still prove to be useful, as exemplified by our patient.
