Laparoscopic Undiversion with Augmentation Cystoplasty

Abstract

Ileal conduit is a temporary option in neurogenic bladder with compromised renal function or as a last option in neurogenic bladders when complex reconstruction is not preferred or possible [1]. Undiversion is performed when the patient prefers the procedure or when there are complications resulting from the diversion. In patients with compromised renal function, the ileal conduit can be undiverted once the renal function improves [2]. Undiversion performed laparoscopically will provide the benefit of minimal access surgery to these patients.
