RESUMO
Objective To evaluate the usefulness of the submucosal tunnel ureteroileostomy using ileovalvular segment as afferent loop in preventing ureteral refluxes and upper urinary tract infection in detenia ceacal-colon continent urinary diversion. Methods Ten patients underwent submucosal tunnel ureteroileostomy in detenia ceacal-colon continent reservior and detenia coloneobladder and the follow up for ureteral reflux and upper urinary tract infection was carried out from 1998 to 2001. Results The patients were followed up for 6 to 36 months.No evidence of ureteral reflux and upper urinary tract infection was observed.Unilateral hydronephrosis was found in one patient caused by the ureteroileal anastomotic stricture. Conclusions Submucosal tunnel ureteroileostomy is an effective fashion for detenia ceacal-colon continent urinary diversion in preventing the postoperative complications of ureteral reflux and upper urinary tract infection.
