What is new in urinary diversion.
There have been some suggestions for changes in technique and investigations of the quality of life. As experience has grown, there have been increasing numbers of reports of complications. Careful attention to technique, especially in nerve-sparing cystectomy and orthotopic cystoplasty may reduce the rate of incontinence. Increasing awareness of quality of life issues should improve preoperative counselling of patients, especially those whose underlying condition is not life-threatening.
