Special Considerations in the Endourologic Management of Stones in Continent Urinary Reservoirs

To various degrees, all continent pouch designs are subject to stones, which often are infected. We report on the endourologic management of large stone burdens in three types of continent reservoirs. Stone in a UCLA and a Kock pouch were managed endoscopically, and stones in an augmented pouch with a Mitrofanoff valve were managed percutaneously. Recommendations are made with regard to the optimal endourologic management of significant stone burdens in each of the common continent urinary reservoirs.
