Association of the Controlling Nutritional Status Score with the Development of Postoperative Paralytic Ileus After Radical Cystectomy: Retrospective Cohort Study.

Objective: Postoperative paralytic ileus is a major adverse event of radical cystectomy, causing prolonged hospitalization. The controlling nutritional status score, consisting of serum albumin, total lymphocyte count, and total cholesterol, indicates the nutritional status and may evaluate gastrointestinal status. This study aimed to clarify the association between the controlling nutritional status score and the development of postoperative paralytic ileus in patients who underwent radical cystectomy with ileal conduit or ileal neobladder.

Initial Experience of Hybrid Technique in Robot-Assisted Intracorporeal Ileal Conduit.

Objective: This study was designed to describe our hybrid approach to intracorporeal urinary diversion and evaluate surgical experience during initial induction.

Material And Methods: Clinical data from 38 patients with bladder cancer undergoing robot-assisted radical cystectomy with ileal conduit hybrid approach to intracorporeal urinary diversion at our institution between May 2020 and January 2022 were reviewed. The hybrid approach to intracorporeal urinary diversion pro cedure involved the following: radical cystectomy, removing a specimen through a 4- to 6-cm skin incision, harvesting an ileal conduit, redocking the robot, and uretero-uretero anastomosis.

Predictive value of the G8 and the IADL-modified G8 screening tools for postoperative delirium following major urological cancer surgery.

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether the Geriatric-8 (G8) and the instrumental activities of daily living (IADL)-modified G8 are associated with the occurrence of postoperative delirium after major urological cancer surgery.

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed a total of 415 consecutive patients who underwent major urologic cancer surgery and were screened preoperatively using the G8 and the IADL-modified G8 at our institution between January 2020 and July 2021. For both the G8 and the IADL-modified G8, a cut-off value of 14 was used.

Value of Geriatric Assessment Using the G8 to Predict Postoperative Urinary Tract Infections in Patients Undergoing Radical Cystectomy.

Objective: Urinary tract infection is one of the most common and distressing complications of radical cystectomy with urinary diversion. This study aimed to elucidate the usefulness of the geriatric-8 screening tool for predicting postoperative complications, especially urinary tract infections, in patients who underwent radical cystectomy with urinary diversion.

Material And Methods: Ninety-one patients with bladder cancer who underwent radical cystectomy with urinary diversion were assessed for geriatric-8 and classified into 3 groups according to their geriatric-8 score: 14 as the high score group.
