An improved non-intubated cutaneous ureterostomy technique for the normal and dilated ureter

E M Mahoney et al. J Urol. 1977 Mar.

Abstract

Cutaneous ureterostomy is a simple procedure to perform but is attended by high morbidity owing to recurring abscesses, strictures and stenosis of the stoma. An improved technique applied to the diversion of 4 normal renal units and 3 dilated ureters is described. We have not experienced the complications mentioned in previous studies and none of the patients has required ureteral intubation in this small series with a 3-year followup.
