title: [Urinary diversions and bladder enlargements].
abstract: Overall review that offers an integrated insight of the importance and repercussions of urinary by-pass and bladder replacement. Over the last decades there has been a growing interest in the possibility of reconstructing the urinary system and there are now an almost infinite number of surgical solutions. The history of the development of using the intestine for by-passes and the reconstruction of the urinary system is described. The secondary metabolic alterations, the possibility of secondary intestinal tumours and the rudiments of ureterointestinal anastomosis are dealt with. Bladder substitution techniques are highlighted, and the vast experience of the Urology Department of Hospital Miguel Servet explained, including criteria and conclusions that help to choose from the many urological surgery alternatives headed by urinary by-pass and bladder complications.
