Completely revised under the new editorship of Karl Kreder and Anthony Stone, this text covers all aspects of urinary diversion. Offering numerous illustrations, it sets out the scientific principles of diversionary surgery and also provides step-by-step guidance on the various operative procedures. Broken down into seven major sections, the text starts with an historical review of urinary diversion techniques, and includes sections on physiological considerations, orthotopic bladder replacement, urinary diversion to an abdominal stoma, techniques that use the anus for continence, the prevention of reflux, and future trends in artificial bladder construction.
