Abstract
Urinary diversion utilizing a continence-maintaining ileal valve has been performed in 12 canines. This procedure offers a simple surgical procedure and uses the diversion's internal fluid pressure to maintain continence. Of 12 canines with this continence-maintaining ileal valve, 11 remained continent at sacrifice. Operative complications were minimal and late complications occurred in 2 dogs. Histological evaluation of the diversionary tissues revealed slight changes in the mucosa of the ileal valve, with some flattening of the villi. This procedure may have a clinical role in urinary diversion for patients with pelvic malignancy or patients who need urinary diversion for other reasons.
