Abstract:
The study aims to evaluate the effects of orthotopic urinary diversion using ileal and sigmoid segments after radical cystectomy on upper urinary tract function and morphology. A retrospective study included 60 patients divided into 2 equal groups (W-ileal pouch group and sigmoid pouch group). We assessed renal function and morphology post-operative after 6 months and after 1 year by serum creatinine, ultrasound, IVP, pouchogram, and renal scan study. After 6 months post-operatively, in the W-ileal group, there were 16 renal units (26.6%) deteriorated in morphology and 11 renal units (18.4%) deteriorated in function. After 1 year, further deterioration in morphology was noted in 17 renal units (28.3%) and in function in 16 renal units (26.7%). In the sigmoid group, after 6 months post-operatively, there were 14 renal units (23.3%) deteriorated in morphology and 14 renal units (23.4%) deteriorated in function. After 1 year, further deterioration in morphology was noted in 47 renal units (24.4%) and in function in 18 renal units (30%). Incorporating the bowel into the urinary tract is potentially dangerous to the upper urinary tract's integrity, and the leading cause of renal impairment is uretero-pouch obstruction.
