Abstract:
Ureterosigmoidostomy has largely been disregarded in recent times but has now seen a resurgence of interest because of its potential applicability to newer, minimally invasive surgical techniques. The advantages of ureterosigmoidostomy over intestinal conduits are urinary continence (obviating the need for stoma and external appliances), ease, and rapidity of performance as well as acceptance by patients. Ureterosigmoidostomy has been characterized by good continence outcomes and it offers good quality of life. Possible complications are anastomosis stenosis, coloureteral reflux, electrolyte imbalance, hydronephrosis, pyelonephritis, chronic renal failure, colorectal cancer, and others. Ureterosigmoidostomy is therefore only advisable for patients ready to accept long-term follow-up.
