Comparison of three types of continent urinary diversions in a single center.

The results including the complication and continence rates for 3 types of continent urinary diversion were evaluated. From 1992 to 1998 we performed 58 continent urinary diversions after radical cystectomy for invasive transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the urinary bladder. All three types of continent diversions and ileal loop procedures were discussed and patient preferences were determined.

Outcome of the treatment of invasive non-transitional cell carcinoma.

Background: We evaluated the treatment outcomes of non-transitional cell carcinoma (non-TCC) cases after radical cystectomy.

Methods: Radical cystectomy was performed in 259 invasive bladder cancer patients in our department and of these, 59 (22.7%) were non-TCC.
