Background: Giant neobladder lithiasis after orthotopic bladder replacement is an infrequent but important long-term complication, which should be diagnosed and treated early. If left untreated, it may eventually lead to irreversible acute kidney injury and seriously affect the quality of life of patients. Here, we present a rare case of a patient who presented with a massive neobladder stone after radical cystectomy done with orthotopic neobladder construction, followed by a challenging stone extraction process.
Case Presentation: A 70-year-old female patient presented with a massive neobladder stone 14 years after radical cystectomy done with orthotopic neobladder construction. A computed tomography scan showed a large elliptic stone. The patient underwent suprapubic cystolithotomy surgery, which removed her giant-sized stone in the neobladder. The size of the bladder stone that was removed was 13 cm × 11.5 cm × 9 cm, with a total weight of 903 g. To date, the follow-up time of treatment is 4 months, and in our patient, no pain, urinary tract infections, or other abnormalities suggestive of fistula were found.
Conclusion: Imaging examination is useful for detecting neobladder lithiasis occurring after orthotopic neobladder construction. Our experience demonstrates that open cystolithotomy is an appropriate therapeutic method for treating the late-stage complication of a giant neobladder stone.

Article Synopsis
- The study examines bladder stone treatment trends in Germany from 2006 to 2020, focusing on data from a national hospital billing database.
- The number of therapeutic interventions for lower urinary tract stones rose significantly, with transurethral cystolithotripsy (TUCL) becoming the most commonly performed procedure.
- While TUCL's popularity increased, the overall use of open cystolithotomy and the combination of TUCL with prostate resection saw a decrease, indicating shifts in treatment practices.

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.

In recent years, the utilization of enterocystoplasty for bladder function enhancement has increased, albeit accompanied by risks such as stone formation, necessitating vigilant follow-up. We report a case of a 60-year-old female with a neobladder who presented with back pain, constipation, and pelvic heaviness, revealing multiple large stones in imaging. Stone analysis showed calcium oxalate and magnesium.

Background And Objective: The preferable technique for orthotopic bladder substitution after radical cystectomy is debated. The aim of this study was to describe our technique of a stapled W-shaped ileal neobladder and assess the complications and functional results in 100 patients. treated from December 2009 to July 2022.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on a new surgical technique developed for bladder augmentation in children with failed bladder exstrophy, utilizing an ileocecal segment to create a catheterizable channel and preventing urine reflux.
- The surgical method involves complex reconfiguration of the ileocecal segment around the appendix, enabling effective bladder neck surgery and ureteric re-implantations when needed.
- Out of 100 children treated, 95 achieved continent status with catheterization, showing significant improvement in their urinary function post-surgery.
