Abstract

The Authors discuss a recent case report treated with radial cystectomy associated with a secondary urinary derivation using the caecum-colon reservoir. After having reviewed the various surgical procedures involving the urinary derivations, the Authors describe the technique used by them paying particular attention to the positive aspects of having a low filling pressure reservoir controlled by a valid sphincter ileum-caecum valve. Considering the good postoperative result with this method, the Authors regard this procedure as an alternative to other urinary derivation techniques when carried out with correct indications.
