Introduction And Objective: Radical Cystectomy (RC) is one of the most common and complex surgical procedures in urologic surgery, and benign ureteroenteric anastomosis strictures (UAS) are complications described in about 15% of patients undergoing RC with different urinary diversion (UD). The aim of this study is to evaluate and analyze risk factors related to the development of ureteral stenosis after RC.
Materials And Methods: All consecutive patients who underwent RC with ileal conduit from December 2019 to December 2022 were included.
