|January 1, 1976
Summary
This study presents rectal reconstruction of the urinary bladder in 76 patients. The artificial urinary bladder effectively restored reservoir and excretory functions post-surgery.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Surgical Oncology
- Reconstructive Surgery
Context:
- Artificial urinary bladder construction using rectal tissue is a complex surgical procedure.
- This technique was applied to 76 patients with various urological conditions.
Purpose:
- To evaluate the feasibility and functional outcomes of creating an artificial urinary bladder from the rectum.
- To assess the indications and postoperative results in a cohort of patients.
Summary:
- The study details the surgical technique involving rectal isolation and ligation.
- Indications included bladder cancer (52 patients), bladder exstrophy (17 patients), and urethral cancer (7 patients).
- Postoperative mortality was 19.7% (15/76), with causes including peritonitis, urinary tract infections, shock, and pelvic phlegmon.
Impact:
- Despite postoperative complications and mortality, the artificial urinary bladder successfully provided reservoir and excretory functions in the late postoperative period.
- This reconstructive approach offers a potential solution for patients requiring bladder removal due to malignancy or congenital anomalies.
