Summary
This study on continent orthotopic urinary diversion in men after radical cystoprostatectomy found that ileal neovesicas achieved high capacity and patient satisfaction (90%) within 12 months, with most experiencing daytime continence.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Surgical Oncology
- Reconstructive Surgery
Context:
- Radical cystoprostatectomy for bladder cancer necessitates urinary diversion.
- Orthotopic neobladder construction aims to restore natural urination.
- Ileal segments are commonly used for neovesica creation.
Purpose:
- To evaluate the functional outcomes and patient satisfaction following continent orthotopic urinary diversion using a detubulized ileal neovesica.
- To assess urodynamic parameters and continence rates in patients undergoing this procedure.
Summary:
- Forty-three men underwent radical cystoprostatectomy and continent orthotopic urinary diversion with an ileal neovesica between 1989-1996.
- Urodynamic studies and continence assessments were performed 6-12 months post-operatively in 25 patients.
- Initial neovesica instability at 6 months resolved by 9-12 months, resulting in a high-capacity, low-pressure reservoir.
Impact:
- The study demonstrates high patient satisfaction (90%) with daytime continence rates of 80%.
- Nocturnal continence was achieved in 46% of patients, with manageable incontinence (8-10%) using aids.
- This technique offers a viable option for restoring quality of life after cystoprostatectomy.
