Ureterosigmoidostomy after pelvic irradiation

M J O'Dea, D M Barrett, J W Segura

    The Journal of Urology

    Summary

    Ureterosigmoidostomy following pelvic irradiation is feasible. Postoperative complication rates are similar to those without prior radiation, especially with doses under 5,000 rads.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Oncology
    • Surgical Oncology

    Background:

    • Pelvic irradiation can complicate subsequent surgical procedures.
    • Ureterosigmoidostomy is a surgical technique for urinary diversion.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the safety and complication rates of ureterosigmoidostomy in patients who have previously undergone pelvic irradiation.
    • To compare outcomes based on radiation therapy type and dose.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 34 patients who underwent ureterosigmoidostomy after pelvic irradiation.
    • Analysis of postoperative complications.
    • Comparison with historical data of ureterosigmoidostomy without prior irradiation.

    Main Results:

    • The incidence of complications was similar to ureterosigmoidostomy performed without prior pelvic irradiation.
    • No significant difference in complications was observed between linear accelerator (linac) and cobalt-60 radiotherapy.
    • A trend suggested higher complication rates with preoperative doses exceeding 5,000 rads.

    Conclusions:

    • Ureterosigmoidostomy is a feasible surgical option after pelvic irradiation, particularly when preoperative radiation doses are below 5,000 rads.
    • The type of radiotherapy (linac vs. cobalt-60) did not appear to influence postoperative complications.
    • Further studies with larger cohorts are needed to definitively assess the impact of preoperative radiation dose.
