[Successful trans-stomal operation for multiple urinary stones occurring in the Indiana continent urinary diversion: a case report]

Abstract

A total cystectomy with the Indiana continent diversion was performed on a 73-year-old man under the diagnosis of invasive bladder cancer in 1992. In 1994 there appeared a few urinary stones in his Indiana continent urinary diversion. Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) was successfully performed. In 1999 a few urinary stones recurred and ESWL was performed. Stones could not be discharged because of stricture of the efferent limb, although stones were crushed down into small pieces by repeated ESWL. The number and sizes of stones gradually increased. Dilatation of the stoma followed by a trans-stomal operation was performed and all of the stones except for one were extracted.
