Abstract:
Orthotopic urinary diversions can be performed safely with acceptable morbidity rates in women. Attention to detail during the surgical dissection of the bladder neck and vagina is critical to a good outcome. With improvements in orthotopic urinary diversions, earlier use of a cystectomy for the treatment of minimally invasive bladder cancer may improve the survival rate in these patients.
