Tank, Karsch, and Lapides (2), as well as others, have estimated that the incidence of cancer after such procedures is increased from 500 to 6000 times.We have recently observed the case of a patient who underwent bilateral ureterosigmoidostomy 26 years ago at age 2 for correction of congenital exstrophy of the bladder. Two years ago, 24 years after the procedure, a colonic carcinoma was found arising at the site of implantation...References1.
