Background: The objective of this study is to evaluate efficacy of en bloc cystourethrectomy with preservation of potency in patients with bladder carcinoma.
Methods: A total of nine patients underwent this procedure in 1991 and 1994. Following 2 cases of 1991 who were confirmed to recover potency and had no recurrence in the pelvis during 2-year follow up as a preliminary study, 7 cases underwent the same procedure in 1994. Erectile function was measured by the snap gauge band.
Results: Six of the 9 patients recovered erection adequate for sexual activity and 4 of them have practiced sexual intercourse. The remaining 3 patients experienced mild erection but inadequate. One of them failed to accomplish adequate erection because of perineal pain at erection. Three to eighteen months after surgery, the first erection was experienced. Surgical margins were pathologically negative in each of the 9 specimens. By the present, all of the 9 patients survive with no evidence of disease.
Conclusion: The potency-sparing en bloc cystourethrectomy appears to preserve potency on the level comparable to the two-stage potency-sparing cystourethrectomy combined with delayed urethrectomy.

The patient was a 73-year-old female. After curative resection for rectal cancer with uterus invasion, UFT/Leucovorin was administered orally for 16 months. Three years and six months after the initial surgery, en bloc cystourethrectomy was performed to control the bleeding caused by a local recurrence invading the bladder and ureter.

OBJECTIVE To describe the technique of laparoscopic complete urinary tract exenteration (LaCUTE), where specimens are withdrawn en bloc through the vagina, and to compare our results for patients had this procedure with those who had surgery by traditional open methods PATIENTS AND METHODS From February 2006 to June 2008, five patients had LaCUTE and three CUTE at our institute. The surgical procedure included bilateral nephroureterectomy, bilateral pelvic lymphadenectomy, radical cystourethrectomy, radical hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. RESULTS In the LaCUTE group the mean (range) patient age was 58 (46-73) years, the blood loss was 378 (290-490) mL, the operative duration was 492 (405-560) min and the hospital stay was 12.

Inflatable penile prostheses in patients undergoing cystoprostatectomy with urethrectomy.

Division of Urology, University of Southern California, Los Angeles.
When urethrectomy is indicated in the male patient in combination with cystoprostatectomy for diffuse transitional cell carcinoma, an additional challenge to reconstruction and sexual rehabilitation will be encountered. Inflatable penile prostheses were implanted in 19 patients who had undergone cystoprostatectomy with prophylactic urethrectomy. Of the patients 13 underwent cystoprostatectomy with en bloc urethrectomy and delayed placement of an inflatable penile prosthesis.

Comparison was made with female patients who underwent cystectomy for bladder cancer during the same period but who did not have vaginal recurrence. Patients with previous surgery and radiation to the pelvic organs appear to be at risk for local recurrence, probably because of the difficulties associated with surgical removal of the bladder.
