The choice of suprapubic continent catheterisable urinary stoma.
Two types of continent urinary diversion are compared. In six patients a Kock pouch was used. Two were completely successful but the other four patients required 10 revision operations between them and only two achieved complete continence. In seven patients a Mitrofanoff operation was done. The results were much better and six achieved complete continence with only three revision operations in two patients. It was concluded that the Kock pouch was more difficult and where possible the Mitrofanoff operation should be used to form a continent suprapubic catheterisable stoma.
