Objective: To evaluate perioperative outcomes and early survival in a series of octogenarians who underwent radical cystectomy (RC) and urinary diversion for bladder cancer.
Patients And Methods: We retrospectively evaluated the clinical records of 44 patients aged ≥80 years who underwent open RC and urinary diversion at 2 high-volume centers between July 2013 and December 2015. Estimated blood loss (EBL), transfusion rate, and length of hospital stay (LOS) were evaluated. Ninety-day postoperative complications were stratified according to the type of urinary diversion. Univariable analysis was performed to identify predictors of overall and major complications. Overall survival (OS) was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.
Results: Median age was 83 years (interquartile range [IQR] 81-85). Age-adjusted Charlson score was ≥4 in 37 (84%) patients, and American Society of Anesthesiologists score was ≥3 in 34 (77%) patients. Ileal conduit (IC) was performed in 21/44 (48%) cases, cutaneous ureterostomy (CU) in 20/44 (45%), and no urinary diversion was required for 3 (7%) dialytic patients. Median EBL was 700 mL (IQR 500-1,000) and 23 (52%) patients required blood transfusion. Median LOS was 13 days (IQR 10-18). Overall complications were recorded in 29 (66%) patients, with major complications observed in 12 (27%), with death occurring in 1. No differences in complications were observed between IC and CU. The 2-year OS estimate was 62.5%.
Conclusions: Open RC in octogenarians has an acceptable rate of major complications and mortality. IC should be considered a good urinary diversion in these patients.

Purpose: To investigate the association of diabetes mellitus and metformin use with metabolic acidosis risk after radical cystectomy (RC) and urinary diversion for bladder cancer.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective cohort study used TriNetX Research Network data. Patients undergoing RC with continent diversion or ileal conduit for bladder cancer were identified using International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) and ICD-10 Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) codes.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a well-known metabolic disease with increasing prevalence. Diabetic-related complications lead to different types of organ damage, some of which some of which are less well-known. In the lower urinary tract, a complex interplay of neuronal, myogenic, and urothelial dysfunction leads to functional disorders of the lower urinary tract, with disorders of bladder storage and bladder emptying being in the forefront.

Objective: To assess 30- and 90-day postoperative complication rates in patients who underwent robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) after receiving novel immunotherapy-based neoadjuvant treatment.
Methods: A bi-centre analysis was conducted in patients who underwent RARC with intracorporeal urinary diversion and who received an immunotherapy-based neoadjuvant regimen between 2017 and 2023. Complications were classified using the Clavien-Dindo system.

Fistulation following radiotherapy for prostate cancer is a rare occurrence that can have devastating consequences and often occurs after instrumentation. We present a 74-year-old male who underwent cystectomy for bilateral thigh fistulation years after radical prostatectomy and salvage radiotherapy for prostate cancer. MRI and CT cystogram confirmed fistulation from the anterior bladder tracking to bilateral thigh collections.

The literature regarding robotic-assisted radical cystectomy in kidney transplant recipients is limited. We present the first reported case of robotic-assisted radical cystectomy with a full intracorporeal orthotopic neobladder in a kidney transplant recipient. A 36-year-old man was diagnosed with muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma 12 years after kidney transplantation.
