ABSTRACT

Urinary diversion-in the non-continent or continent form-has featured prominently in lower urinary tract reconstruction over the past few decades, with non-continent urinary diversion beginning in 1950 when Eugene Bricker1 first reported the use of the ileal conduit, and continent diversion, especially the orthotopic neobladder in its various forms, featuring more prominently in the past two or so decades. Urinary diversions are performed for many different indications the most common following cystectomy for bladder malignancies.
