AB  - The Bricker ileal conduit has been the most popular urinary 
diversion technique following a radical cystectomy since 
the 1950s. The procedure typically provides a high quality 
of life for patients. However, stomal complications occur 
in 16%-65% of ileal conduit cases. We describe an easy 
technique to aid in the intussusception of a Bricker ileal 
conduit. This technique produces stomas with a height of 
2 cm-3 cm consistently. In our experience, we have had 
excellent results when using this technique.
