[Clinical and urodynamic results after various ileum neobladder procedures]

Urinary diversion after cystectomy in 15 male patients suffering from advanced transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder (pT-pT3b) was performed by ileal neobladder in different ways: S type n = 5, U type n = 3, J type n = 3 and W type n = 4. The perioperative mortality was nil, the overall complication rate 60%. The patients were followed up by means of regular urodynamic controls after 3, 6 and 12 months. After a median follow up period of 18 months (12-29) the J type and W type seem to be superior with regard to postoperative continence. All patients with W type neobladder are continent. The capacity of the neobladders varies from 200 to 800 ml; the W pouches have the highest capacity.
