Studies were underwent mainly concerning the indications and the postoperative complications in several diversion procedures such as ileal conduit. ileocecal conduit, tubeless cutaneous ureterostomy. Kock pouch and Indiana pouch. Although ileal conduit and ileocecal conduit are one of reliable method with broad applications, the early and late complications are often troublesome. Also continent diversion such as Kock pouch and Indiana pouch need the long operative time with technical difficulties. Tubeless cutaneous ureterostomy have high incidence of stomal stenosis especially in normal sized ureter.
