Abstract

Incontinent urinary diversions are frequently performed in gynecologic oncology. The incontinent urinary diversions generally utilize a short segment of distal ileum or colon as a conduit. Conduit complications such as anastomosis leaks and strictures may be related to the technique utilized for inserting and securing the ureters and the degree of postimplant manipulation. We describe a technique using a metal Yankaur suction device placed through the conduit's matured stoma to facilitate the mucosa-to-mucosa anastomosis of the ureters. This procedure allows for tension-free ureteral anastomoses, the isolation of the ideal conduit length, optimal stomal maturation, and reduced manipulation of the conduit after the ureteral anastomoses. This modification provides an elegant, yet simple and expedient, method of ureteral anastomosis to the incontinent urinary conduit.
