Fig. 2From: A new ureteroileal anastomosis technique in modified ileal orthotopic bladder substitution after radical cystectomyMode chart: construction of elongated ileal tube and anastomose with ureter. a A 2-cm ileal segment was detubularized and then transversally tubularized. The elongated ileal tube was formed and ready to anastomose with the ureter. b, c, and d The ureter and elongated ileal tubes were anastomosed in an end-to-end fashion. The pathway of the ureteroileal anastomosis was placed between the abdominal cutaneous fat and the anterior rectus muscle sheath. e Reflux could be completely prevented by placing pressure on the corresponding point on the abdominal surface when straining for voiding urineBack to article page
