Revisiting Ureterosigmoidostomy, a Useful Technique of Urinary Diversion in Functional Urology - 17/05/18
, Jacques CorcosAbstract |
Ureterosigmoidostomy has largely been disregarded in recent times but has now seen a resurgence of interest because of its potential applicability to newer, minimally invasive surgical techniques.

Ureterosigmoidostomy is therefore only advisable for patients ready to accept long-term follow-up.
