Flexible fiberoscopy of urinary conduits.
During the last 2 years 7 patients with intestinal urinary conduits, exhibiting symptoms of gross hematuria and ureteral stricture or other difficulty with the conduit, were examined with flexible fiberoptic endoscopes. The entire lumen of the intestinal conduit, all urinary-intestinal anastomoses and the bladder of 1 patient were visualized successfully. Retrograde pyelography was performed on 2 patients. In 4 of 7 patients we were able to demonstrate abnormalities that were not demonstrable by any other method.
