Abstract

Urolithiasis is a well-known occurrence after cystectomy and urinary diversion. With high incidence and recurrence rates of urolithiasis, complex anatomy and associated morbidities, these patients remain a management challenge for urologists. The purpose of this review is to examine the literature and consider the risk factors for stone formation in this group of patients and reflect on the reported outcomes with the range of available treatment options.
