Abstract
Purpose:
A technique for perineal cystoprostatectomy with ureterosigmoidostomy is described as a minimally invasive method to treat muscle invasive bladder cancer.
Materials And Methods:
We performed 7 perineal cystoprostatectomies. In the most recent case ureterosigmoidostomy performed via the perineal approach was the definitive method of urinary diversion.
Results:
The operation was well tolerated and minimally invasive.
Conclusions:
Perineal cystoprostatectomy and ureterosigmoidostomy are effective and minimally invasive means of definitive therapy for muscle invasive bladder cancer.
