Evaluation of the Short- and Long-Term Outcome Predictors in Patients Undergoing Posterior Pelvic Exenteration: A Single-Center Experience

Modified double-barrelled wet colostomy after total pelvic exenteration

Pelvic exenteration is a radical surgery that can require urinary and faecal diversions. Double-barreled wet colostomy, a viable alternative to the traditional ileal conduit with separate colostomy technique, is not always applicable due to the shortness of an ureter. To overcome this problem, I modified the original technique, replacing the two uretero-colic anastomoses with an ureteroureterostomy and an uretero-colic anastomosis.
