[Bladder replacement and continent diversion: what about metabolic complications?]
1Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Rennes, Pontchaillou, Service d'Urologie.
Summary
Intestinal segments used for bladder reconstruction can cause metabolic complications, including acidosis, nutrient malabsorption, and bone demineralization. Long-term monitoring is crucial for patients with these urinary diversions.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Gastroenterology
- Metabolic Medicine
Context:
- Increasing use of intestinal segments for bladder reconstruction after pelvic cancer surgery.
- Patients with dysfunctional bladders also benefit from these procedures.
- Potential complications include significant metabolic derangements.
Purpose:
- To analyze metabolic complications following urinary diversion using intestinal segments.
- To investigate physiopathological interrelationships in patients with bladder substitution or continent urinary diversion.
- To highlight the need for long-term medical attendance and monitoring.
Summary:
- Urinary diversion using intestinal segments can lead to chronic metabolic acidosis.
- Disorders of bile acid, vitamin B12, and calcium/vitamin D metabolism are observed.
- Secondary hyperoxaluria and potential bone demineralization are significant risks.
Impact:
- Identifies critical metabolic changes associated with intestinal urinary diversion.
- Emphasizes the necessity of long-term patient monitoring for metabolic derangements.
- Informs clinical practice regarding the management of patients with intestinal substitute bladders and continent urinary diversion systems.
