3. Brief History of Diversion
Ureterosigmoidostomy
First form of continent diversion
Reported by Simon in 1852 (bladder exstrophy)
Complications: fecal leak, pyelonephritis, ureteral
stricture
Ileal Conduit
Described by Bricker in 1950
Traditional gold standard for urinary diversion

Dept of Urology, GRH and KMC, Chennai.
5. The most common indications for urinary system
diversion are as follows:
• Bladder cancer requiring cystectomy
• Neurogenic bladder conditions that threaten
renal function
• Severe radiation injury to the bladder
• Intractable incontinence in females

6. Urinary diversion
• External (ileal conduit)
• Internal(ureterosigmoidostomy)
• Temporary (pediatric / second look )
• Permanent

Dept of Urology, GRH and KMC, Chennai.
8. Partial bladder sparing
• Ileovesicostomy
• Appendicovesicostomy or catheterizable vesicostomy.
The bladder sparing ones don’t really have an application
in patients with bladder cancer, although sometimes
we use this in patients who have prostate cancer and
need to have their prostate removed along with a
portion of the bladder.

• Anal tone to be determined.
• To be avoided in
1. liver disease
2. primary diseases of colon

17. Options
• Stomach : best in renal failure
– it is less permeable to urinary solutes
– it has a net excretion of chloride and protons rather than a net absorption of
them
– it produces less mucus
– Less bacteruria
• Ileum:
– nutritional problems because of lack of vitamin B12 absorption,
– diarrhea because of lack of bile salt reabsorption, and fat malabsorption.
– Postoperative bowel obstruction - 10%
• Colon :
– postoperative bowel obstruction with colon is 4%
– Both ileal and colon segments - the same type of electrolyte imbalance with
similar frequencies.
– An antireflux ureterointestinal anastomosis by the submucosal tunnel
technique is easier to perform with use of colon
• Jejunum
17
Dept of Urology, GRH and KMC, Chennai.
18. INTESTINAL ANASTOMOSES
• The first principle for intestinal anastomoses is
adequate exposure
• The second principle is to maintain a good blood
supply to the severed ends of the bowel.
• The third principle involves prevention of local spillage
of enteric contents.
• The fourth principle - an accurate apposition of serosa
to serosa of the two segments of bowel to be
anastomosed.
• The fifth principle is not to tie the sutures so tight that
the tissue is strangulated.
• The final principle involves realignment of the
mesentery of the two segments of bowel to be joined
18
Dept of Urology, GRH and KMC, Chennai.
19. COMPLICATIONS RELATED TO
INTESTINAL ANASTOMOSES
• Fecal fistula – first few weeks – 4-5%
• Sepsis – 2% mortality
• Bowel obstruction – Stomach & ileum – 10%
- colon – 5%
– 50% present in early postop period
– MCC – adhesions/ recurrence/ volvulus/ internal
hernia / stenosis/ stricture
– Prevention by use of nonirradiated bowel
• Hemorrhage – gastric - billroth II
• Pseudo obstruction
19
Dept of Urology, GRH and KMC, Chennai.
20. Incidence of bowel obstruction may be reduced by using
• nonirradiated bowel,
• performing the anastomosis on well-vascularized
bowel,
• closing all apertures,
• reperitonealizing the isolated segment,
• decompressing the gastrointestinal tract for an
adequate time,
• placing omentum over the anastomosis, and
• reconstituting the pelvic floor after exenterative
surgery
20
Dept of Urology, GRH and KMC, Chennai.
21. Complication of isolated intestinal
segment
• Stricture -urine mediated lymphoid depletion
• Elongation of the segment – distal obstruction
or decrease frequency of catheterisation
21
Dept of Urology, GRH and KMC, Chennai.
22. Stomal creation
Types
• Flush – best for catheterisable diversion
• Nipple/ rose bud - best
• Loop end
22
Dept of Urology, GRH and KMC, Chennai.
23. Site of stoma
• Preoperatively mark the stomal site with the patient in the sitting position,
as well as in the supine position
• care is taken to place it over the rectus muscle at least 5 cm away from the
planned incision line.
• The point chosen should be well away from skin creases, scars, the
umbilicus, belt lines, saree line and bone prominences & radiation sites.
• All stomas should be placed through the belly of the rectus muscle and
be located at the peak of the infraumbilical fat roll.
• If the stoma is placed lateral to the rectus sheath, a parastomal hernia is
likely to occur.
• The bowel should traverse the abdominal wall perpendicular to the
peritoneal lining (i.e., it should come straight out).
• One should avoid trimming fat or epiploic appendages from around the
margin of the stoma, and the appliances should be applied in the
operating room.
23
Dept of Urology, GRH and KMC, Chennai.
24. • An even better plan is to
have the patient wear the
partially filled appliance for
a day or two before
operation to be sure that the
placement is optimal and to
start to become accustomed
to it.
• An enterostomal therapist
can be helpful not only in
positioning the appliance
but also in counseling the
patient.
24
Dept of Urology, GRH and KMC, Chennai.
25. • Stomal creation –
kellys/kochers’
• Nipple stoma
• Loop end
25
Dept of Urology, GRH and KMC, Chennai.
26. Complications of stoma
• Stomal necrosis
• Bleeding (variceal)
• Dermatitis
• Parastomal hernia (2-6.6%)
• Prolapse
• Obstruction
• Retraction
• Stenosis – 20-24% IC; 10-20% CC
26
Dept of Urology, GRH and KMC, Chennai.
28. • Deterioration of the upper tracts is due to
– lack of ureteral motility,
– Infection
– stones and
– less commonly due to obstruction at the ureteral-intestinal
anastomosis.
• In a group of patients who had nonrefluxing colon conduits
constructed, those whose anastomoses remained
nonrefluxing had a lesser incidence of renal deterioration
than did those in whom the antireflux anastomosis failed.
• Others have not found the same
• The successful construction of an antirefluxing anastomosis
does not prevent bacterial colonization of the renal pelvis
28
Dept of Urology, GRH and KMC, Chennai.
29. Further Considerations
• Refluxing versus nonrefluxing
– Nonrefluxing with decreased rates of
pyelonephritis
– However, higher rates of obstruction and
technically more challenging
29
Dept of Urology, GRH and KMC, Chennai.
30. Evolution of UI anastomosis
30
Dept of Urology, GRH and KMC, Chennai.
31. Principles of UI anastomoses
• Only as much ureter as needed should be mobilized so that
there is no redundancy or tension on the anastomosis.
• Mobilization should not strip the ureter of its
periadventitial tissue > 2 to 3 mm
• Performed with fine absorbable sutures - watertight
mucosa-to-mucosa apposition.
• The bowel should be brought to the ureter and not vice
versa
• At the completion of the anastomosis, the bowel should be
fixed to the abdominal cavity, preferably adjacent to the
site of the ureterointestinal anastomosis.
• If possible, the anastomosis should be retroperitonealized

a small rent in the mucosa is made; and with a
mosquito hemostat, the mucosa is raised from
the submucosa extending laterally.
A 3- to 4-cm tunnel is made before the clamp
exits the serosal wall. The ureter is grasped
and pulled into the submucosal tunnel.
B, Both ureters have been drawn into the
bowel through their submucosal tunnels
before each is spatulated and circumferentially
sutured to the mucosa. These sutures should
also incorporate a portion of the muscularis for
security.

taenia, and the submucosa is dissected
from the mucosa laterally. After a distance
of 3 to 4 cm is achieved, a small hole is
made in the serosa and the ureter is
drawn through.
B, A button of mucosa is excised, and the
ureter is spatulated and sutured to the
mucosa with 5-0 PDS. The rent in the
taenia is closed with interrupted sutures,
and an adventitial suture at the ureter's
entrance point into the colon secures it to
the serosa of the colon
35

39. Wallace Technique
A, Both ureters are spatulated and laid
adjacent to each other.
B, The apex of one ureter is sutured to the
apex of the other ureter with 5-0 PDS. The
posterior medial walls of both ureters are
then sutured together with interrupted or
running 5-0 PDS, the knots tied to the
outside. The lateral ureteral walls are then
sutured to the intestine.
C, A Y-type anastomosis is formed by
completing the anterior row of the anterior
lateral ureteral walls of the ureters as shown
in B and then suturing the ends of the
ureters directly to the intestine.
D, The head-to-tail anastomosis involves
suturing the apex of one ureter to the end of
the other. The posterior medial walls are
sewn together, and then the ends and
lateral walls are sewn to the intestine
39

40. Tunneled Small Bowel Anastomosis
A small transverse incision is
made in the small bowel, and a
second transverse incision 3 cm
lateral to it is also made.
The submucosal tunnel is made, a
button of mucosa is removed, and
the ureter is drawn through the
tunnel and sutured directly to the
mucosa.
The rent in the serosa is closed,
and an adventitial ureteral suture
is placed and secured to the
serosa at the ureter's entrance to
the small bowel.

42. Le Duc Technique
A, The small bowel is opened for
approximately 4 to 5 cm.
A longitudinal rent in the mucosa is
made and the mucosa raised.
B, At the distal end of the mucosal
rent, a hole is made in the serosa, and
the ureter is then drawn through. The
entrance of the ureter through the
serosa should be at least 2 cm proximal
to the cut end of the bowel to allow
sufficient bowel length to close the
end.
C, The ureter is spatulated and sutured
to the mucosa and muscle layers. The
mucosa is not reapproximated over the
top of the ureter but rather sutured to
the side of it.

• The ileal mesentery is transilluminated, and a major arcade identified to the
segment selected.
• With a mosquito clamp, the mesentery immediately beneath the bowel is
penetrated, and the bowel is encircled with a vessel loop.
• An area at the base of the mesentery that is to one side of the feeding vessel is
selected, and a second vessel loop is placed through the mesentery.
