Abstract
PURPOSE: We present a new technique of cutaneous ureterostomy. The results of application of this method and its advantages over prior methods are discussed. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We applied this method in 15 patients with tumors in the pelvic region and 3 with spinal cord injury between January 1992 and January 1994. RESULTS: A tubeless state was achieved in more than 90% of the patients. CONCLUSIONS: The technique described has a wider range of indication than prior techniques and decreases the risk of stomal stenosis arising from postoperative ureteral tension.
