Abstract
Five patients who had had the bladder removed underwent uretero-ileo-colourethrostomy construction to allow for urination in a physiological manner. All 5 patients void spontaneously and have daytime continence, while 1 requires intermittent catheterization twice daily and 1 has significant enuresis. This method is promising for reconstruction of the urinary tract following cystectomy for benign and malignant diseases.
