Urology. 1997 Apr;49(4):629-31. doi: 10.1016/s0090-4295(96)00544-4.

Abstract

Reports of spontaneous rupture of continent urinary diversions are rare. Management of the reported cases has been solely by exploratory laparotomy with primary repair of the defect. We describe 2 cases of spontaneous rupture of an ileal reservoir successfully managed nonoperatively.
