Laparoscopic bilateral cutaneous ureterostomy for palliation of ureteral obstruction caused by advanced XXXX .

@entity1 @entity8 @entity263 @entity5 @entity150 @entity1176
In cases of advanced @entity5 with @entity8 in high-risk @entity1 , the possibility of performing a laparoscopic instead of an open cutaneous ureterostomy should be considered. We performed laparoscopic cutaneous ureterostomy in three male @entity1 , two with @entity263 and one with @entity150 , and in one female @entity1 with uterine @entity5 . Five operative ports were used. The ureters were identified, dissected, severed, and passed through two 10-mm ports; and cutaneous ureterostomies were performed in the usual manner. The mean operative time was 96 minutes. @entity1 were discharged after 5 to 7 (mean 6) days. The two @entity1 with @entity263 are now in treatment with @entity1176 analogues with a follow-up of 3 and 7 months. The @entity1 with @entity150 underwent palliative radiotherapy and is well after 6 months. The @entity1 with uterine @entity5 has stable disease after 3 months. Laparoscopic urinary diversion causes less discomfort and has a low complication rate and may be the first-choice diversion in @entity1 with @entity5 who have a life expectancy longer than 6 months.
