Abstract : Patients with a history of ureterosigmoidostomy are at an increased risk of rectosigmoid adenocarcinoma. The cancer can occur many decades after the diversion, even if there was conversion to ileal urinary conduit. These patients may still be considered as high-risk individuals and screened for colorectal cancer accordingly.
Key Clinical Message : History of ureterosigmoidostomy increases the risk of rectosigmoid adenocarcinoma decades after diversion even after conversion to ileal urinary conduit and these patients may be screened for colorectal cancer as high-risk individuals.
