Abstract
The Mitrofanoff procedure for continent urinary diversion was described in 1980. This principle has been expanded upon and used to achieve continent urinary diversion in virtually any indicated clinical setting. We report 3 cases treated by the Mitrofanoff principle to illustrate the spectrum of clinical situations to which it is applicable. The Mitrofanoff principle represents a viable form of continent urinary diversion.Keywords
