[Continent urinary diversion after complete urethral resection: the Mitrofanoff technique].
OBJECTIVE
To describe our experience using the Mitrofanoff procedure in adult patients after a complete urethral resection.


RESULTS
We describe 2 clinical cases, both with neoplastic lesions in the urethra. Once completed the urethral resection, we made a continent urinary diversion using the Mitrofanoff procedure with the cecal appendix, applying a few technical variations.


CONCLUSIONS
The Mitrofanoff procedure is a simple technique, applicable to both pediatric and adult patients and it should be considered a good urinary diversion after complete urethral resection.
