Use of a laparoscopic insufflation port for ileal conduit endoscopy

We present an effective and simple technique for performing endoscopy of an ileal conduit. With a laparoscopic insufflation port in the stoma, a flexible cystoscope or ureteroscope can be inserted. The one-way valve of the port prevents leakage of irrigation fluid and allows the conduit to distend for optimal visualization. This technique is particularly useful when access to the upper urinary tracts is needed.
