Long-term outcome of ileal conduit diversion.

Purpose: Ileal conduit is considered a safe procedure and the gold standard to which newer forms of urinary diversion should be compared, although few long-term results are known. We analyzed a consecutive series of patients who lived a minimum of 5 years after ileal conduit diversion.

Materials And Methods: A total of 412 patients underwent ileal conduit diversion between 1971 and 1995 at our institution.
