title: Sigmoid colon conduit urinary diversion in a renal transplant recipient.
abstract: Renal allotransplantation is the treatment of choice for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). With increasing technical expertise, it has been realised that presence of a normal lower urinary tract is not a necessity for transplantation. Advanced genito-urinary tuberculosis frequently leads to a small-capacity bladder. Herein, we present a case of ESRD due to urinary tuberculosis in whom sigmoid colon conduit urinary diversion was carried out. The immunosuppressed status did not increase the complications of a sigmoid colon conduit urinary diversion.
