Neoplasia complicating ureterosigmoidostomy.

Abstract

There are reports in the literature of 17 patients who developed neoplastic lesions at or close to the site of anastomosis after transplantation of the ureters to the sigmoid colon. Urdaneta et al. (1966)

Tumours of the sigmoid colon following ureterosigmoidostomy

“…This has been emphasized by previous authors (Kille & Glick, 1967;Kozak, Watkins & Jewell, 1966). The two cases in this paper followed this pattern.…”

“…The two cases in this paper followed this pattern. Kille & Glick (1967) pointed out that the latent period between ureterosigmoidostomy and development of tumours was between 10-31 years when the original operation was performed for a benign disorder, and between 5-9 years when the original operation was performed for malignancy. The latent periods in our two cases were 20 and 27 years respectively.…”
