During the past 4 years, we have adopted tubeless ureterostomy as a main urinary diversion method on patients with maligmant disorders.
Twenty-five cases (34 ureters) were operated on by this tubeless ureterostomy method. Operative success was achieved in 84% of the cases. (excellent 65%, fair 15%)
Two major complications leading to failure of the treatment were stomal and ureteral stenosis. Although leakage at the junction of uretero-ureterostomy occurred in 4 cases, we could manage all of them successfully by the conservative catheter indwelling.
However, problems of ureteral stenosis remained unsolved.
