Non-continent urinary diversions can be proposed temporarily in neurological patients or at end-stage. They are especially proposed in patients in chronic retention in whom intermittent catheterization cannot be performed for anatomical or practical reasons (severity of neurological handicap). In this study, the authors present the various non-continent urinary diversions reported in the literature, describing the technical modalities of each diversion, their main complications and their short-term, medium-term and long-term results.
