Abstract

Radiologic imaging after urinary diversion is an essential part of the postoperative surveillance. Both early and late complications can be subtle. The primary goals are to evaluate for any upper tract abnormalities, tumor recurrence, or surgical complications. It is imperative that the urologist be aware of the radiologic evaluation of the most common urinary diversions, expected anatomic changes, and the various complications that may manifest following diversion.
