title: Continent urinary diversion in a patient with prune belly syndrome and urethral atresia.
abstract: A case of prune belly syndrome which was managed by left ureterostomy and right nephrectomy during the neonatal period is reported. The patient also had anorectal agenesis with rectovesical fistula, urethral atresia and patent urachus. When the patient was 14 years of age, the urinary diversion was converted to a continent diversion by an antireflux ureteroneocystostomy of both the left and the right ureter together with a right cutaneous ureterostomy. The patient manages very well by clean intermittent catheterization of the right ureterostomy and is fully continent.
