Objective: To describe our, step-by-step, technique for robotic intracorporeal neobladder formation.

Patients And Methods: The main surgical steps to forming the intracorporeal orthotopic ileal neobladder are: isolation of 65 cm of small bowel; small bowel anastomosis; bowel detubularisation; suture of the posterior wall of the neobladder; neobladder-urethral anastomosis and cross folding of the pouch; and uretero-enteral anastomosis. Improvements have been made to these steps to enhance time efficiency without compromising neobladder configuration.

Results: Our technical improvements have resulted in an improvement in operative time from 450 to 360 min.

Conclusion: We describe an updated step-by-step technique of robot-assisted intracorporeal orthotopic ileal neobladder formation.

Introduction And Importance: Orthotopic neobladder reconstruction may be associated with complications such as neobladder-vaginal fistula (NVF) and uretero-ileal anastomotic stricture which are often managed using stents, though these can be prone to migration.

Case Presentation: We present a 69-year-old lady with a surgical history of radical cystectomy and ileal neobladder that was complicated by a left ureteric stricture and poucho-vaginal fistula for which she underwent a left ureteric stent and bilateral percutaneous nephrostomy (PCN) insertions after which she lost to follow-up. The patient later presented to our center with a right subcostal anterior abdominal wall desmoid tumor for which she underwent wide local excision.

We describe a case of ureteral stricture after radical cystectomy with orthotopic neobladder. The patient presented 4 months after laparoscopic radical cystectomy with intracorporeal orthotopic ileal neobladder, with fever and left lower back pain.Laboratory analysis showed leucocytosis and elevated C reactive protein and creatine levels.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the modification of the subserous extramural tunnel for non-refluxing ureteroileal anastomosis in U-shaped pouches using the Wallace technique with a single trough.

Methods: This prospective study was conducted from 2017 to 2022 in a single tertiary center after approval from the Research Ethics Committee of our institution (approval number: FWA 000017585). 45 patients' candidates for radical cystectomy and orthotopic urinary diversion were included in this study.

Radical cystectomy (RC) with the formation of an ileal orthotopic neobladder (ONB) may adversely affect long-term health-related quality of life (HRQOL). An advanced age at the time of ONB construction could further exacerbate the decline in HRQOL. This study aims to establish an evidence-based age threshold at the time of RC with ONB, beyond which a significant deterioration in HRQOL is observed.

Article Synopsis
  • The study looked at whether not using ureteral stents during certain surgeries leads to more problems afterward.
  • They checked records of 68 patients who had surgery and split them into two groups: one group had stents, and the other didn’t.
  • Results showed that not using stents didn’t cause more complications like leaks or blockages, but more studies are needed to be sure.
