Summary We present our experience with a modified technique for constructing a continent ileal reservoir, using the terminal ileum in a pre‐peritoneal position. The ureters were implanted using the Le Duc‐Camey technique; the Benchekroun valve was used as a continence mechanism. This technique was used in 18 patients and its advantages and complications are discussed.
