Continent urinary diversion with the Florida pouch
Abstract
Continent urinary diversion (Florida Pouch) has been performed on 151 patients. The surgical technique utilizes a detubularized extended right colon segment, a doubly-plicated segment of ileum and a non-tunneled uretero-intestinal anastomosis. Mortality rate was 1.3%. Early and late complication rates have been minimal. 2.8% were incontinent. No radiographic renal damage has been noted and electrolyte abnormalities have not been a problem. The procedure is highly recommended to those surgeons performing continent urinary diversions.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a cohort study, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence. Reported size: 151 participants or records.
