Complications associated with urinary diversion

Radical cystectomy (RC) with subsequent urinary diversion has been assessed to be the most difficult surgical procedure in the field of urology. No randomized trials have been performed to compare the outcomes of noncontinent conduit diversion, neobladder construction and continent cutaneous diversi...
