Abstract:
An original procedure for supravesical urinary diversion to a small intestine pouch, intended to facilitate urination following pelvic exenteration, is suggested. Post-operative complications are minimized due to formation of a "dry" urinostomy, reduced pressure in the pouch and absence of reflux-pyelonephritis. If required, urine flow can be channeled to the pouch by connecting the sigmoid colon to the anal canal. Said procedure offers optimal advantage of rehabilitation as far as urine channeling is concerned.
