Quality of Life Survey of Urinary Diversion Patients: Comparison of Continent Urinary Diversion Versus Ileal Conduit

Background Continent urinary reservoirs (CUR) have become one of the major options for patients requiring urinary diversion to improve their quality of life (QOL). To assess whether CUR enhanced postoperative QOL, we surveyed patients with CUR and ileal conduit (IC) using a questionnaire sent by mail.
