Continent cutaneous urinary diversion.
Using the case history of a 57-year-old woman with a G3 T1 bladder cancer as a reference point, general considerations on tumor biology and therapeutic choices are reviewed. Options for urinary tract diversion or reconstruction are presented. This author recommends radial cystectomy for this patient with continent cutaneous urinary diversion, the Indiana pouch. Important technical points of the surgical procedure are emphasized.
