The long-term results of ileal conduit urinary diversion in children.
Sixty-seven children undergoing urinary diversion by ileal conduit tolerated this procedure well. The initial results were most satisfying, but late complications occurred in 55 children (82%), and this is a cause for concern. Even when the surgical complications were avoided, it seemed important to consider carefully the psychological problems that these children with ileal loop diversion could develop as they advanced into adult life.
