Acute acalculous cholecystitis after radical cystectomy
The Journal of Urology
|January 1, 1988
Abstract:
We report 2 cases of acute acalculous cholecystitis after radical cystectomy and continent urinary diversion with a Kock reservoir and ileocecal bladder replacement, respectively. Early diagnosis is essential since the mortality is high with conservative treatment. Isotopic cholescintigraphy is an effective diagnostic test and cholecystectomy is the treatment of choice.
