Abstract

Currently, there are many methods of urinary diversion, including ureterocutaneostomy, nephrostomy, creation of a urinary reservoir, both heterotopic and orthotopic, each of which has a different impact on the quality of life of patients, their physical, emotional and social well-being. This review aims to consider the various methods of urinary diversion, analyze their impact on the quality of life of patients, and identify the most common and serious complications. Understanding these aspects is important for the development of individualized approaches to the treatment and support of patients, which can contribute to improving their overall condition and recovery.

Keywords: urinary diversion, ileal conduit, bladder cancer, bladder plastic surgery, neobladder, urostomy, Bricker operation, ureteroneocystostomy.
