title: Noncontinent urinary diversion.
abstract: When the need for urinary diversion arises, whether from carcinoma of the urinary tract, malfunction, or malformation, a decision must be made about the type of diversion to be performed. Currently, the patient and surgeon must decide on continent versus noncontinent versus neobladder, and on the type of intestinal segment to be used.
