Computed tomography of Kock and modified Kock continent ileal reservoir

Abstract

Kock or modified (Javadpour) ureteroiliostomy was performed in 5 patients following cystectomy for bladder carcinoma or exstrophy. Computed tomography was utilized to demonstrate alterations in pelvic anatomy after construction of the ileal reservoirs. Detailed evaluation of the inlet and outlet antireflux arms of the continent reservoir was possible. Appreciation of the expected alterations in pelvic anatomy accompanying the Kock or modified Kock procedure will be necessary to detect postoperative complications and to achieve early recognition of recurrent carcinoma. Potential advantages of the modified Kock ileal reservoir, as developed by Javadpour, are presented.
