Background: Orthotopic urinary diversion is the preferred diversion after cystectomy. Neobladder reconstruction with a longer ileum segment (60 cm) is advantageous for obtaining a large capacity and continence at the beginning; however, the long-term risk of residual urine, chronic infection, and the need for intermittent catheterization is more pronounced with the neobladder constructed with a longer ileal segment compared to the neobladder tailored from the shorter ileal segment.
Objective: To establish the differences in the functional outcome of a shorter (< 45 cm) and longer (⩾ 45 cm) ileal segment usage in the reconstruction of the Hautmann ileal neobladder following the radical cystectomy.
Introduction: The aim of this article was to report the long-term results of increased ileocystoplasty in 58 patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) with an impact on overall renal function and quality of life. In a representative number of patients, where we followed individual subjects for more than 20 years, we wanted to determine their quality of life and preservation of renal function after surgery.
Material And Methods: After unsuccessful conservative therapy of urinary incontinence, increased ileocystoplasty was performed.
- Infections are well-known complications of radical prostatectomy. In the United States and Europe, the rates of surgical site infections are generally less than 1% and of other infections up to 3%. We report a case of a 62-year-old man who developed severe sepsis with renal insufficiency, paralytic ileus and polyserositis after radical prostatectomy, as a consequence of probable quinolone-resistant bacterial infection.
