[A case of neobladder-cutaneo fistula after cystectomy]

A 69-year-old man was admitted for the treatment of muscle-invasive bladder carcinoma. Total cystectomy was performed and an ileal neobladder was constructed by a modification of Studer's method. However, a week later, a subcutaneous abscess occurred withwound dehiscence. Open drainage and wound debridement was carried out. Three weeks later, a neoblader-cutaneous fistula was seen on cystography. We managed it conservatively by means of wound debridement and washing with physiological saline. The fistula was closed on the 95th day after operation. The patient can now pass urine by himself.
