Abstract
Eight patients with total cysto-urethrectomy underwent an augmented and valved rectum (Kock), a type of continent urinary diversion. A satisfactory outcome was obtained in 6 patients. These 6 patients urinated 6 to 8 times a day (1-2 times during the night). The volume each time was 350-450 ml. Urinary incontinence occurred only 1-2 times a month when deeply asleep, and there were no patients whose daily life was restricted. However, there were 3 patients with urinary tract complications. In 2 of them, urinary diversion was required, and unilateral total ureteral obstruction was observed in the remaining patient. The reason for the complications appeared to be that stapling of the intussusception of the sigmoid colon was performed in 5 placements as described in the original method. Following the 4th patient, we were able to prevent any complication in the urinary tract by stapling of the intussusception in 3 places (at 12, 5 and 7 o'clock), and by suturing mucosa to mucosa of the rectum and intussusception in 6 places with polyglycolic acid suture, and further suturing serosa to serosa of the sigmoid colon and rectum in 4 places with silk suture.
