title: Sigma-rectum pouch (Mainz pouch II).
abstract: A substantial modification of the classic technique of ureterosigmoidostomy is introduced in this article. To date, this procedure has been used in 47 patients. This article reviews the surgical technique of the antemesenterial splitting of the intestine at the recto-sigmoid junction which creates a pouch by subsequent side-to-side anastomosis.
