title: An alternative to urinary conduit.
abstract: The author outlines the procedures involved in creating a Mitrofanoff pouch as an alternative to urinary conduit. Patients who have such a procedure must learn to alter their lifestyles and acquire skills such as self-catheterisation, but early results suggest that they find the procedure acceptable and preferable to other options.
