Orthotopic urinary diversions

Abstract

The question of orthotopic diversion has two aspects: basic concepts and procedures. With many of the concepts we are largely in agreement, even though they are occasionally explained in a rather imprecise way. Many procedures have evolved over the years--the Hautman, the Studer, the Mainz, or the ileal bladder of Padua--and it is difficult to decide which is the best. One of the criteria could be ease of execution-or, rather, the ease with which all urological surgeons, and not simply those devising the techniques, are able to perform particular procedures. We must observe with a critical, yet constructive, eye to evaluate results and see beyond the latest techniques.
