Split cuff ileal stoma.
Abstract
Long-term patient comfort after an ileal conduit urinary diversion depends on the conduit stoma. The problem of leak-proof urine collection of the flush stoma can be overcome by using a spout stoma but this could become stenotic unless everted. Eversion is a technically difficult procedure and produces a bulky spout that tends to prolapse. The use of carefully placed myotomies in the split cuff stoma described herein facilitates eversion and produces a slim stoma that accepts a compact, leak-proof appliance and is, at the same time, free of the complications of stenosis and prolapse in the long-term management.
