The uretero-ileoceco-proctostomy (ileocecal rectal bladder): early experiences in 18 patients.
With the current practice of continent urinary diversion the patient still has a cutaneous stoma and must perform intermittent catheterization. To circumvent these problems we devised the uretero-ileoceco-proctostomy (ileocecal rectal bladder), in which the intussuscepted ileocecal segment is interposed between the ureters and rectum, the rectal capacity is augmented by side-to-side anastomosis to the cecal limb of the segment and continence is controlled by the anal sphincter. The interposed segment prevents reflux of the urine-fecal mixture to the upper urinary tract and may decrease the risk of carcinoma at the ureteroileal anastomosis. The intussusception is stabilized without opening the recipient bowel (cecal limb), thus simplifying the subsequent ceco-proctostomy with automatic suture technique. Our preliminary experience in 18 patients with this new technique is encouraging with respect to voiding, preservation of renal function and quality of life.
