Abstract:
Continent urinary reservoirs (CUR) have replaced ileum and colonic conducts as the best method for urinary diversion. The author present their experience with two patients in whom they fashioned a CUR in the Dr. Arnulfo Arias M. Metropolitan Complex using the ileocecal segment and part of the transverse colon (The Miami or Florida porch technique). They describe the clinical histories, surgical technique and the results obtained. They feel that the CUR has a large capacity, works at low pressure and is technically accessible. They consider it a good choice when urinary diversion is needed.
