  • Urinary Diversions: Complications Late complications (after 30 days post-op)
    - Stone formation
    - Infection
    - Reflux to urinary tract
    - Obstruction (usually ureteroenteric)
  • Urinary Diversions: Complications Early complications (under 30 days post-op)
    - Bowel complications (ileus, SBO, leak, ischemia)
    - Infections (UTI's including pyelonephritis, abscess
    - Post operative fluid collections (urinomas, seromas, hematomas)

    - Bladder cancer
    - Neurogenic bladder dysfunction
    - Detrusor overactivitiy
    - Chronic inflammatory disease
