Abstract
Benign diseases of the lower urinary tract can occur as a result of oncological or neurological diseases or their respective therapies (e.g., surgery or radiation treatment) and can significantly reduce the quality of life for affected patients. Urinary diversion serves as a salvage option when all other therapeutic regimens have been carried out and proven unsuccessful. When selecting the suitable urinary diversion, a comprehensive clinical assessment of the patients is required in order to ensure long-term success. In some cases, a cutaneous, catheterizable pouch offers the last and only option for a long-term and definitive treatment of a patient's condition. Overall, a decreasing trend in the establishment of a continent urinary diversion is observed in Germany. Current data on benign indications for urinary diversion are limited. Therefore, further data collection and research are needed.
