Simplified urinary drainage following orthotopic or continent bladder replacement.
A simplified urinary drainage system is described for orthotopic or catheterizable continent urinary diversion. The patient has a single urethral or suprapubic Foley catheter draining the urinary reservoir, decreasing nursing work load and possibly allowing for earlier discharge of the patient from the hospital.
