Radiologic evaluation of continent urinary reservoirs.
A variety of methods are currently used for urinary diversion after cystectomy in adults. Radiologists are generally familiar with ileal and colonic conduits but are less familiar with the recently popularized continent urinary reservoirs. We describe and illustrate the surgical technique, normal anatomy, and normal radiographic appearance of a variety of urinary reservoirs, including the Kock pouch, Camey procedure, and various ileocecal reservoirs. Complications of various reservoirs are also discussed and illustrated.
