Introduction: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in the management of muscle-invasive bladder carcinoma has not been adopted universally. We studied the oncological outcomes and complications in patients who underwent radical cystectomy (RC) with or without NAC.
Methods: A retrospective review of patients who underwent RC with or without NAC from June 2009 to June 2020 was conducted.

Introduction: Despite level 1 evidence supporting neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) followed by radical cystectomy (RC) for muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC), its adoption is hindered by concerns about toxicity and detrimental impact on post-RC complications. We retrospectively reviewed post-RC complications at a tertiary care hospital, particularly assessing impact of NACT.
Methods: Data from the institutional bladder cancer database were retrieved for patients aged ≥18 with MIBC (≥American Joint Committee on Cancer Clinical Stage T2), treated with RC between May 2013 and July 2023.

Objective: To compare health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in patients undergoing radical cystectomy with ileal conduit (RC) or bladder preservation (BP) with (chemo)radiotherapy for bladder cancer.
Methods And Analysis: Patients with bladder cancer, stage cT1-T4, cN0-N1, M0 with a minimum follow-up of 6 months from curative treatment (RC or BP) and without disease were eligible for inclusion. Two HRQOL instruments were administered: Bladder Cancer Index (BCI) for bladder cancer-specific HRQOL and European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30).

Neobladder-vaginal fistula (NVF) is a rare complication after radical cystectomy with orthotopic neobladder, impacting patient quality of life. This case report describes successful transvaginal, multilayered closure of NVF in a 59-year-old woman with urinary incontinence post-surgery. Despite prior intraoperative repair, an 8mm fistula was detected and repaired transvaginally.

Objective: This systematic review was conducted to synthesize current research on the role of repeated transurethral resection of the bladder (re-TURB) and the emerging use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in discerning patient suitability for safely foregoing this procedure.
Evidence Acquisition: Employing a methodical literature search, we consulted several bibliographic databases including PubMed, Science Direct, Scopus, and Embase. The review process adhered strictly to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA 2020) guidelines.
