Undiverting the ileal conduit

M Menon, J S Elder, C B Manley

    The Journal of Urology
    |November 1, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary

    Urinary undiversion surgery is safe for select patients, with no deaths or necessary rediversions reported. While most patients regain normal bladder function, some with meningomyelocele may require ongoing catheterization.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Reconstructive Surgery

    Background:

    • Urinary diversion is a surgical procedure to reroute urine flow.
    • Urinary undiversion aims to restore normal urinary tract continuity.
    • Indications for diversion include congenital anomalies and bladder dysfunction.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the safety and outcomes of urinary undiversion.
    • To assess postoperative bladder function and renal function.
    • To identify patient selection criteria for successful undiversion.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 46 patients evaluated for urinary undiversion between 1975 and 1981.
    • 27 patients completed urinary reconstruction and were followed for 6-80 months (mean 32 months).
    • Analysis of surgical technique, patient selection, and postoperative outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • No deaths or rediversions were required post-surgery.
    • One patient experienced significant renal function deterioration.
    • Normal bladder function was observed in patients with dysfunctional voiding or outlet obstruction; meningomyelocele patients required intermittent catheterization.

    Conclusions:

    • Urinary undiversion is a safe procedure when performed with careful patient selection.
    • Meticulous surgical technique and diligent follow-up are crucial for successful outcomes.
    • Outcomes vary based on the underlying condition, with meningomyelocele patients needing specialized long-term care.
