Abstract:We review the long-term outcome of 2 patients in whom cutaneous ureterostomies were performed. Complications included necrosis and distal ureteral stenosis, peristaltic dysfunction, urosepsis, calculus formation and renal impairment. Fluoroscopic ureterometry confirmed high pressure collecting systems in both patients 14 to 17 years postoperatively. Subsequent management during the last 4 to 6 years with clean intermittent self-catheterization has resulted in a significant improvement in the urological status.
