Ileal Conduit Undiversi0N: Experience with Tunneled Vesical Implantation of Tapered Conduit

Abstract
Reconstruction of the urinary tract after ileal conduit diversion was performed in 9 patients by antirefluxing vesical implantation of the tapered conduit. Of the patients, 5 required prior operative rehabilitation of the lower tracts; 4 had urodynamically normal lower tracts. Reoperation for post-undiversion reflux was necessary in 2 patients; reimplantation was satisfactory in 1 but ileocecocystoplasty was required in the other. Follow-up showed stable or improved upper tracts and renal function in the remaining patients.
