Abstract

A study of 68 consecutive diversions of the urinary stream performed in the  gynaecological section of a hospital serving patients of low socio-economic status is  presented. The results of var~ous methods are analysed, especially when employed for the treatment of carcinoma of the cervix producing severe ureteric obstruction or a vesical fistula. The construction of an ileal loop combined with wholepelvis irradiation is preferable to exenteration, provided the patient has not received previous effective  radiotherapy.
