Transverse colon-gastric tube composite reservoir

Urology. 1991 Jan;37(1):36-40. doi: 10.1016/0090-4295(91)80074-h.

Abstract

We describe our technique for a new form of continent urinary diversion. This reservoir includes a detubularized segment of transverse colon to provide low pressure urine storage, tunneled ureteral reimplants to prevent reflux, and a tubularized gastric segment used as a continent catheterizable efferent limb. This technique provides a new option for continent diversion in a variety of patients.
