title: Continent urinary reservoirs.
abstract: With the increasing incidence of bladder cancer, many different operations have been devised to reconstruct the lower urinary tract in a continent fashion. The incontinent type of urinary reservoir (ileal conduit) has been a surgical preference for many years. However, the continent urinary reservoir (CUR), neobladder, and rectal bladder offer the capable and motivated patient an alternative to an incontinent permanent stoma. Nursing management of patients requiring diversional surgery requires continual updating of these specialized surgical procedures and unique aspects of care.
