[Ileal conduit--quality of life].
Removal of the urinary bladder--cystectomy--imposes the problem of urine derivation. The most sophisticated forms of urinary derivation imply those where the continent urinary reservoir is anastomosed to the urethra. One of these is Came's enteroplasty. In our hospital this technique was applied on 52 patients. Postoperative complications and obtained results suggest that this form of urinary derivation is an important step forward not only to incontinent forms of derivation, but to non-orthotopic continent urinary derivations, as well. All patients in our series were very successful in reintegration into the normal life, i.e. they were able to achieve a high quality of life after otherwise mutilating surgical procedure.
