Abstract

This workshop was conducted in an attempt to analyze critically the role of reconstruction of the myelodysplastic patient who had undergone urinary diversion and to develop guidelines for selecting those patients in whom urinary undiversion might be undertaken safely. The collective experience initially seems to be acceptable; however, the authors emphasize the gravity of the decision and the complexity of the evaluation which must be undertaken prior to embarking on such reconstructive surgery. Contrary to some reports, we believe that the defunctionalized bladder frequently can be evaluated. Further, many of the contraindications to urinary undiversion have been identified and several of the hazards involved therein can be avoided. We believe that the neurogenic bladder is no longer an absolute contraindication to undiversion. Our experience suggests that undiversion is a reasonable surgical treatment in select patient with neurogenic bladder dysfunction. But, the decision to remove a satisfactorily functioning conduit must not be undertaken lightly. Patients should be selected only after a thorough, detailed, and properly conducted evaluation. A protocol has been developed which will hopefully assist in this evaluation. Perh...Continue Reading
