Complications of Ileal Conduit Diversion

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Urinary Diversion

Abstract

In 1950 Bricker described the use of ileum for “bladder substitution” after pelvic exenteration [1], and to date it remains the most common form of urinary reconstruction after radical cystectomy [2] due to its simplicity and ease of construction. Despite six decades of experience and numerous advancements in surgical technique, ileal conduit urinary diversion remains associated with significant medical and surgical complications. In this chapter, we review the management of complications associated with ileal conduit urinary diversion.
