Background: Continent urinary diversion may be necessary in range of urological abnormalities. In circumstances where the standard techniques are not possible, alternative innovative techniques may be used. Methods: In female patient with bladder exstrophy, continent diversion was recommended. The appendix was not available, the ureters were not suitable and continent stoma was fashioned from an isolated segment of colon. Results: The stoma proved to be continent, although it was somewhat stenotic. However, clean intermittent catheterization maintained its patency. Conclusions: A continent catheterizable stoma may be constructed from segment of colon. The technique may be considered when other well recognized methods are not feasible.
