title: [A continent urinary diversion with a detubularized rectum and sigmoid (sigmo-rectal pouch)].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  The continent reservoir is an ideal urinary diversion in patients after cystectomy. The artificial closing mechanism construction in these reservoirs is rather complicated and the results are uncertain. The objective of the present work is to assess own experience with a relatively simple rectosigmoid reservoir created by a method described by M. Fisch.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Since 1992 till 1995 the sigma-rectum detubularized reservoir was performed in 30 patients. The intricating bladder cancer was an indication for the operation in 27 patients and the other bladder diseases in 3 patients. The patients age ranged from 18 to 75 years. Diurnal continence was achieved in all 30 patients. 12 of them have to awake during the night to evacuate the reservoir 1 to 3 times.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Sigma-rectum pouch is a good form of cintinent diversion in such patient, which are not suitable for orthoscopic neobladder because of oncologic limitation or bad general conditions. The patients tolerate the procedure very well, heal and adapt quickly to new evacuating mechanisms.
