Urinary diversion for neurogenic bladder in children.
The fate of the upper urinary tracts after urinary diversion will determine its place in the management of neurogenic and congenital bladder lesions. In this study there was an over-all 13 per cent deterioration rate in the upper tracts after ileac and colonic diversions. The status of the upper tracts at the time of diversion was believed to be a significant factor in the prognosis.
