abstract = {We thank the authors for their interest in our recent article describing the surgical technique and early functional results of a retrosigmoid ileal conduit diversion after radical cystectomy (RC) (1). In a single-centre single-surgeon comparative study with a short-term follow-up, we observed a significantly reduced rate of ureteroileal anastomotic stricture (UAS) and no increase in intra- or postoperative complications with the retrosigmoid versus traditional Wallace ileal conduit. In details, no cases of UAS were detected in 30 patients who had received a retrosigmoid ileal conduit with a direct end-to-side ureteroileal anastomosis after a mean follow-up time of 10.8 months.},
