Pyelo-intestino-cutaneous conduit in the treatment of renal carcinoma of solitary kidneys. 1990

Second Department of Surgery, Helsinki University Central Hospital, Finland.

A pyelo-intestino-cutaneous conduit, either by colonic or ileal segment, was used successfully in 4 patients with urothelial carcinoma affecting a solitary kidney. Primary healing was good but involved the risk of stricture formation. During the follow-up period (10-48 months), repeated endoscopic check-ups were easily performed through the conduit, enabling coagulation of recurrent tumour growth. Two patients are still alive and well; 2 are dead.
