Renal transplantation into ileal conduits: results and long-term follow-up.
From 1977 through 1990, 708 renal transplants were performed at our institution.  Eight of these allografts (1.1%) were placed into recipients who required ileal conduits.  This report describes the long-term follow-up of these patients.  Five out of 8 patients currently have functioning allografts 29 to 102 months after transplantation (with a mean allograft survival of 50 months). Construction of an ileal conduit in patients without bladders or in those who have non-functioning bladders is a straightforward approach with minimal increased morbidity and good long-term results.
