Outcomes of ileal conduit urinary diversion in patients with multiple sclerosis

AIM The objective of this study was to report the long-term outcomes and complications of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) who underwent noncontinent urinary diversion to treat lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). MATERIAL AND METHODS A retrospective study included all adult patients with MS who underwent an ileal conduit urinary diversion between 2000 and 2015.
