ABSTRACT
Gastric conduit The gastric conduit can be used in exceptional cases. The good blood supply, relatively poorly absorbing mucosa, and acidification of urine have been considered advantageous.19 In Lund, we have experience with four patients, three of whom had severely reduced renal function and required diversion. The conduit was created from the gastric antrum using the GIA instrument and we have seen no early or late complications. However, ulcer formation with perforation and subsequent death has been described.20
