[Reversal of Urinary-diversion After Radical Surgery for Rhabdomyosarcoma of the Bladder]

The authors report a case of reversal of urinary diversion in a 14 year old boy who had presented, three years previously with an embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma of the base of the bladder. The initial treatment had consisted of preoperative and postoperative chemotherapy combined with radical cystoprostatectomy with urinary diversion via a colonic conduit. The principle of the technique of reversal of urinary diversion are discussed in the light of this unusual case.
