[Indications for cutaneous ureterostomy. Experience with 117 cases (author's transl)]. 1975

W Wagner, and G Kollias

74 cases of cutaneous ureterostomy and 22 cases of in situ fistula of the ureter are reviewed. Cutaneous ureterostomy was mostly carried out as a palliative procedure in cases of far advanced bladder or gynecological cancers. 13 patients had complications that required surgical intervention (7 ureteral stricture, 6 cases of pyonephroses caused by stone formation). The in situ fistula mostly served as temporary urinary diversion before definitive reconstructive surgery of the urinary tract was feasible. All patients had chronic urinary tract infection. We consider ureterostomy in situ and cutaneous ureterostomy as safe, rewarding procedures for this type of patients.
