Intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) was introduced in the 1970s as a new modality of cancer therapy. It has been especially useful after local irradiation or surgical failure. We report on the use of IORT in 13 patients with pelvic tumors requiring urinary diversion. All 13 were managed with ileal conduits. Despite the associated problems of prior abdominal procedures (11/13 patients), prior external beam radiation to the pelvis (11/13 patients), systemic chemotherapy (4/13 patients), and prolonged operative time (> 10 hours), perioperative mortality (1/13) and morbidity rates were low. We conclude that in cases of prior colonic resection and pelvic radiation, potentially irradiated ileum can be safely used for urinary diversion.
