Abstract: Chronic urinary schistomiasis may present with obstructive uropathy, contracted bladder, among others as a result of extensive ureteral fibrosis. Surgical intervention is guided by renal function, severity of ureteral involvement and bladder capacity during close follow-up. Restoration of bladder capacity with orthotopic continent Urinary diversion and sparing of the trigone, preservation of renal function is possible in patients with progressive manifestations of chronic schistosomiasis. Functional and quality of life outcomes are markedly improved in carefully selected patients undergoing continent urinary diversion with a follow up period of more than fifteen years.
