Abstract

We report our experience of continent urostomy about 160 cases. This study described the continence mechanism by the hydraulic valve. This one is made by isolating of 14 cm long ileal loop which is invaginated. It was adapted to six reservoirs: 142 ileocecums, 9 ileal pouchs, 4 bladders, 3 sigmoids, 1 rectum and 1 colonic transverse segment. The follow-up was few months to 14 years. 145 patients are continent, the continent urostomy was well tolerated by the upper urinary tract. The complications of the valve and their management are analysed.
