Ureteroenteric anastomosis in orthotopic neobladder creation: do urinary tract infections impact stricture rate?

Purpose: Radical cystectomy (RC) and urinary diversion in the treatment of muscle-invasive bladder cancer is associated with peri-operative complication rates as high as 60%. Ureteroenteric anastomotic stricture (UEAS) is a potential source significant morbidity often requiring secondary interventions. We sought to evaluate our experience with benign UEAS in our open ileal orthotopic neobladder (ON) population.

Right-left discrimination is related to the right hemisphere.

We aimed to determine the functional localisation of right-left discrimination (RLD) by functional MRI (fMRI). In this study, 16 male volunteers were examined. There were three task sessions: one active and two baseline tasks.
