Abstract

To review the results achieved with the Mainz II detubularized ureterosigmoidostomy for urinary diversion in patients undergoing bladder resection. This study was conducted on 12 prospective patients undergoing radical cystectomy for urothelial carcinoma after 1996. All patients met the following selection criteria: no changes in upper urinary tract functions, normal rectosigmoid, no previous radiation to the area and good anal continence. All patients had a diagnosis of infiltrating urothelial carcinoma of the bladder. Four of these patients died from tumor progression. Renal function is preserved at 31.7 months' mean follow-up, although 3 patients developed moderate metabolic acidosis despite the prophylactic alkalization therapy instituted after surgery. One patient presented recurrent pyelonephritis and stricture of the ureterointestinal anastomosis that required surgical correction. Colonoscopy was unremarkable in all but one patient who showed adenomatous polyp of the colon, which was removed endoscopically, and no other local changes. Continence was complete from the time the urinary catheters were removed. Voiding occurred every 2.9 hours during the day and 2.2 times during the night. The Mainz II modified ureterosigmoi...Continue Reading
