Objective: This study aimed to evaluate outcomes and complications in dogs with urothelial carcinoma (UC) of the bladder trigone treated with total cystectomy using uretero-prepuce/vagina/cutaneous anastomosis combined with medical treatment.
Animals: Twenty-one dogs.
Procedure: Total cystectomy was completed as follows: The whole bladder and urethra were removed, and the ureters were anastomosed to the skin in 1 case and to the vagina in 9 cases in females. The entire bladder, prostate, urethra, and penis were removed, and the ureters were anastomosed to the prepuce in 11 males. Medical treatments were administered to all dogs after surgery.
Results: Short-term surgical complications included diarrhea (16 dogs), acute kidney injury (2 dogs), and dehiscence of the ureterovaginal anastomosis (3 dogs). Long-term surgical and medical complications included pyelonephritis (11 dogs) and chronic kidney disease (5 dogs). In the survival analysis, median survival time from the initial diagnosis in all cases was 481 d, which was longer than the previously reported median survival time in dogs with UC involving the trigone.
Conclusion And Clinical Relevance: Total cystectomy combined with medical treatment prolonged overall survival compared with medical, surgical, or stenting procedures in dogs with UC involving the trigone.

Introduction: Transurethral resection of the bladder (TURB) is a common urological procedure, typically performed in an inpatient setting. This study aims to investigate safety, quality, and patient satisfaction aspects of TURB in an outpatient setting, reflecting the emerging strategy of outpatientization of surgical procedures in the German healthcare system.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed a cohort of 100 patients who underwent outpatient TURB.

Introduction: Treatment patterns for patients with bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG)-unresponsive high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) who are ineligible for or decline radical cystectomy (RC) are inconsistently reported. We retrospectively described demographic, clinical, and treatment characteristics for these patients and assessed their clinical outcomes.
Patients And Methods: Medical charts of patients with BCG-unresponsive high-risk NMIBC (carcinoma in situ [cohort A] or T1/high-grade Ta [cohort B]) who were ineligible for or declined RC documented between January 1, 2011, and December 31, 2018, at 15 academic centers were reviewed.

Purpose: To compare the perioperative, functional, and oncological outcomes of the intracorporeal neobladder (ICNB) and extracorporeal neobladder (ECNB) technique following robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC).
Methods: We reviewed our single-institutional, prospectively collected database for consecutive patients who underwent RARC with an ileum neobladder from July 2016 to February 2023. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to the approach of reconstruction (ICNB or ECNB).
