Abstract

Elderly patients are disproportionally affected by conditions that necessitate the use of urinary diversion. The surgical diversion of urine can be accomplished in multiple ways, both in a continent and incontinent fashion. Advanced age has traditionally been correlated with lower rates of continent urinary diversion than younger patient populations. Additionally, there is a paucity of data regarding continent urinary diversion in the elderly. Elderly patients face a number of unique challenges in the selection, construction, and care of continent urinary diversion. This update will serve to the outline pertinent issues currently faced by elderly patients undergoing continent urinary diversion.
