Background: Laparoscopic radical cystectomy (LRC) with ileal orthotopic neobladder (IONB) reconstruction is one of the most promising methods for bladder cancer treatment; its advantages include a small incision size, less blood loss, improved perioperative outcome and tumor prognosis, and a positive self-image postoperatively. The short-term benefits of various IONB reconstruction procedures reported thus far include a simple process, short operative time, less intraoperative bleeding, few postoperative complications, and good postoperative neobladder function; in the long term, these benefits engender good quality of life of the patients. Here, we explored and summarized the more novel and available IONB reconstruction procedures to identify the safest, most efficient, and simplest IONB reconstruction techniques for patients with bladder cancer.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to compare how different types of urinary diversion (ileal conduit vs. neobladder) affect kidney function in patients with a single kidney who had bladder cancer surgery.
  • Researchers assessed kidney function in 86 patients over several months using various methods and found no significant differences in kidney function change between the two urinary diversion types.
  • The results suggest that since urinary diversion type did not affect kidney function, patients with a single kidney might be good candidates for neobladder surgery.

Background: Orthotopic urinary diversion is the preferred diversion after cystectomy. Neobladder reconstruction with a longer ileum segment (60 cm) is advantageous for obtaining a large capacity and continence at the beginning; however, the long-term risk of residual urine, chronic infection, and the need for intermittent catheterization is more pronounced with the neobladder constructed with a longer ileal segment compared to the neobladder tailored from the shorter ileal segment.

Objective: To establish the differences in the functional outcome of a shorter (< 45 cm) and longer (⩾ 45 cm) ileal segment usage in the reconstruction of the Hautmann ileal neobladder following the radical cystectomy.
