Comparison of postoperative complications of ileal conduits versus orthotopic neobladders.

Background: Radical cystectomy (RC) and urinary diversion (UD), with either an ileal conduit (IC) or an orthotopic neobladder (NB), is a complex surgery, in which various complications can occur. In this study, we compared postoperative complication rates after a RC and UD performed for the treatment of muscle-invasive bladder cancer or recurring high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer in our center.

Methods: We retrospectively included 604 patients that underwent UDs from December 1996 to August 2015.

Impact of neoadjuvant chemotherapy on short-term complications and survival following radical cystectomy.

Objectives: To compare perioperative and short-term postoperative complication rates between patients receiving radical cystectomy (RC) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) and patients undergoing RC alone. Secondary objectives were to compare overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS).

Materials And Methods: Clinico-pathological data of all patients who received RC between 1996 and 2015 were retrospectively collected.
