Summary
Urinary undiversion techniques enable early reconstruction for complex urinary issues. Advances in intermittent catheterization and bowel augmentation allow for improved bladder function and continence without appliances.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Pediatric Surgery
- Reconstructive Surgery
Background:
- Urinary diversion was historically common for severe lower urinary tract abnormalities.
- Fewer patients require urinary diversion due to advancements in reconstructive techniques.
- Lessons from urinary undiversion have informed new primary reconstruction strategies.
