Abstract
- Clinical observation was made on 11 cases of ureterosigmoidostomy during the period from 1959 to 1976. Age ranged from 27 to 65 years and 7 female and 4 male each. Underlying diseases at the time of operation were 6 cases of vesico-vaginal fistula and 5 cases of bladder tumor. Their operation time, amount of transfusion, electrolyte balance, early and late complications after operation were analyzed. It seemed to us that despite the many urologist abandon ureterosigmoidostomy and prefer ileal diversion, its usefulness is assessed in our paper and applicable to some selected patients.
