Abstract:
Detubularized orthotopic low-pressure bladder substitute following radical cystoprostatectomy allows micturition per urethram and urinary continence. We performed the Studer and Zingg procedure with ileal reservoirs in 26 bladder cancer patients, using staplers in 11 cases. A reduced operating time and a low postoperative complication rate were observed in these cases. Furthermore, functional results were comparable to those obtained with manual sutures and lithiasis was never observed.
