Abstract

Operative techniques for continent urinary diversion after cystectomy have greatly improved and increased in number during the last decades. The goal of orthotopic bladder substitution is to create a reservoir with an adequate capacity to store urine at low pressures. This is an essential precondition to protect the upper urinary tract and to achieve urinary continence. The procedure should not compromise cancer control.
