Abstract
Urinary undiversion is becoming an uncommon procedure because fewer patients are being diverted. The lessons learned from undiversion, however, have made possible early primary reconstructions in patients who would previously have been candidates for diversion. Intermittent clean catheterization and the use of bowel to augment or form a compliant storage vessel for urine have permitted reconstruction in patients with abnormal bladder and urethral function. Thus patients with neurogenic bladder or with severe lower urinary tract abnormalities can look forward to healthy kidneys and urinary continence without the use of appliances. Certainly there are yet many lessons to be learned, but the potential is just starting to be appreciated.
