[Perspectives in urinary diversion].

"Perspectives in Urinary Diversion" was the title of a presentation held during the opening session of the 56th annual meeting of the German Urological Association in Hamburg on September 21, 2006. It focused on the balance between obstruction and reflux of ureters implanted in diverted intestinal segments, the choice of intestinal segments for orthotopic pouches, orthotopic diversion in the female, the status of rectal diversions, and alternatives to the use of intestinal segments.
