Continent urinary diversion using a sigmoid reservoir.
Continent urinary diversions are now accepted procedures for selected patients undergoing cystoprostatectomy. We describe a procedure in which a segment of sigmoid colon is used as a continent reservoir. Effective ureteral antireflux procedures have protected the upper tracts. All patients have good daytime urinary control with some night-time urinary incontinence controlled by condom drainage.
