[Simplified technique for uretero-ileal anastomosis in ureteral diversion using an ileal conduit]

Abstract

The authors report a simplified technique for uretero-ileal anastomosis. It avoids the opening of the ileal segment, avoids doing a direct anastomosis, leaves a 2 cm ureteric segment floating free inside the bowel lumen as a "flap valve". An ileal sleeve is made around the ureter, using the ileal wall, to prevent ileo-ureteral reflux.
