Mechanical gastric outlet obstruction after continent urinary diversion.
A number of complications have been associated with complex continent urinary diversions. We report a case of postoperative mechanical gastric outlet obstruction after continent urinary diversion with distal ileum and ascending colon. Following adequate urinary reservoir drainage gastric outlet obstruction resolved. Such mechanical effects from distended urinary reservoirs must be considered in any patient undergoing continent urinary diversion.
