[Bilateral ureter within single nipple for cutaneous ureterostomy after radical cystectomy].
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the effect of bilateral ureter within single nipple for cutaneous ureterostomy after radical cystectomy.


METHODS
Bilateral ureter within single nipple for cutaneous ureterostomy was performed on 36 patients after radical cystectomy.


RESULTS
The nipple was formed well, and urinary drainage was patent. No death or severe complication occurred. The patients have been followed up for 3 months to 3.5 years. Urinary, electrolyte and renal functions were within normal levels. No pyelonephritis or hydronephrosis was observed in IVP, retrograde pyelography and/or sonographic examination of kidneys, no nipple constriction. A right ureter was pulled to the left retroperitoneum and formed a nipple with ureter left on the left abdominal wall.


CONCLUSIONS
This is a simple and safe operation, especially suitable to the old and weak patients.
