Objective: To analyse initial results of newly designed ileal neobladder-a modification of Studer neobladder
Methods: Twenty-four patients with urinary bladder cancer underwent radical cystoprostatectomy from February 2005 to March 2006. Twenty-one of them had urinary diversion using ileal neobladder in spherical configuration with ileal neourethra (giving the shape of an inverted Indian earthenware container called a 'pitcher pot') to circumvent the problem of short mesentery and construct a low-pressure spherical ileal neobladder.
Results: Early post-operative complications occurred in 42% of patients.
