Abstract
Benign diseases of the lower urinary tract can occur as a result of oncological or neurological diseases or their respective therapies (e.g., surgery or radiation treatment) and can significantly reduce the quality of life for affected patients. Urinary diversion serves as a salvage option when all other therapeutic regimens have been carried out and proven unsuccessful. When selecting the suitable urinary diversion, a comprehensive clinical assessment of the patients is required in order to ensure long-term success. In some cases, a cutaneous, catheterizable pouch offers the last and only option for a long-term and definitive treatment of a patient's condition. Overall, a decreasing trend in the establishment of a continent urinary diversion is observed in Germany. Current data on benign indications for urinary diversion are limited. Therefore, further data collection and research are needed.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to identify the risk factors impacting long-term outcomes in patients diagnosed with sigmoid colon cancer with urinary bladder involvement. METHODS A comprehensive analysis was conducted on a retrospective cohort of 118 patients who underwent multivisceral resection for sigmoid colon cancer with urinary bladder involvement between June 2002 and May 2017. Univariate and multivariate analyses were employed to identify risk factors associated with long-term outcomes. RESULTS Among the included patients, 10 (8.5%) experienced grade III-IV complications according to Clavien-Dindo classification, with 4 (3.4%) presenting anastomotic leaks. The postoperative mortality was 0.8%. R0 resection was achieved in 108 (91.6%) patients. Adjuvant chemotherapy was administrated to only 31 patient (26.3%). Local recurrence was observed in 8 (6.8%) cases. Risk factors for local recurrence-free survival and disease-free survival were CCI>3, grade III-IV postoperative complications according to Clavien-Dindo classification, positive resection margins, stage III of the disease, additional resected organs (excluding colon and bladder) and the absence of adjuvant chemotherapy. The same risk factors, with the exception of CCI, were associated with overall survival. CONCLUSION This study highlights that negative resection margins, a postoperative period without grade III-IV complications, and the implementation of adjuvant chemotherapy are crucial factors contributing to improve overall, disease-free and local recurrence-free survival in patients with sigmoid colon cancer with urinary bladder involvement.

Abstract
PURPOSE To report long-term oncologic and functional outcomes of a large consecutive single center series of Robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC)- intracorporeal (IC) Urinary Diversion (UD), identifying their predicting factors. METHODS A single center Bladder cancer (BC) database was queried for "RARC" and "ICUD", including patients treated between January 2012 and September 2020. Kaplan-Meier curves were assessed disease-free (DFS), cancer-specific (CSS) and overall survival (OS) probability. Univariable (UV) and multivariable (MV) analysis were adopted to identify predictors of DFS, CSS and OS. Kaplan-Meier method evaluated day- and night-time continence recovery probabilities; UV and MV analysis were adopted to identify predictors of Day-time continence. RESULTS Overall, 251 patients were included. Among them, 192 patients underwent intracorporeal ileal orthotopic neobladder (ION) (76.5%). Five-year DFS, CSS and OS rates were 66.5%, 65.4% and 61.5%; pT stage ≥ 3 and pathologic nodal involvement were identified as negative independent predictors of DFS (HR 2.39, p = 0.001, HR 4.64, p ≤ 0.001), CSS (HR 2.20, p = 0.01, HR 3.97, p < 0.001) and OS (HR 2.25, p = 0.005, HR 3.95, p < 0.001). In RARC-ION patients, Trifecta rate was 64.1%. One-year day- and night-time continence rates were 78.6% and 48.3%. Age (HR 0.98, p = 0.03), female gender (HR 0.57, p = 0.008) and complications Clavien grade ≥ 3 (HR 0.55, p = 0.03) were identified as independent predictors of day-time incontinence. CONCLUSIONS Long-term oncologic outcomes and their predicting factors seem aligned to the largest historical open series and multi-institutional robotic series data. According to the identified predicting factors undermining a proper achievement of day-time continence, this represents an objective support, in order to properly advice specific sub-group of patients.

Abstract
Cancer patients commonly suffer from loneliness, poor spiritual status, and fear of death; however, these evaluations are rarely revealed in urological cancer patients. Thus, this study aimed to assess the loneliness, spiritual well-being, and death perception, as well as their risk factors in urological cancer patients. A total of 324 urological (including renal, bladder, and prostate) cancer patients and 100 healthy controls were included. The University of California and Los Angeles loneliness scale (UCLA-LS), functional assessment of chronic illness therapy-spiritual well-being (FACIT-Sp), and death attitude profile-revised (DAP-R) scores were evaluated. The results showed that the UCLA-LS score was higher, but the FACIT-Sp score was lower in urological cancer patients than in healthy controls. According to the DAP-R score, fear of death, death avoidance, and approaching death acceptance were elevated, but neutral acceptance was lower in urological cancer patients than in healthy controls. Among urological cancer patients, the UCLA-LS score was highest but the FACIT-Sp score was lowest in bladder cancer patients; regarding the DAP-R score, fear of death and death avoidance were highest, but approaching death acceptance was lowest in bladder cancer patients. Interestingly, single/divorced/widowed status, bladder cancer diagnosis, higher pathological grade, surgery, systemic treatment, and local treatment were independent factors for higher UCLA-LS score or lower FACIT-Sp score. In conclusion, urological cancer (especially bladder cancer) patients bear increased loneliness and reduced spiritual well-being; they also carry higher fear of death, death avoidance, and approaching death acceptance but lower neutral acceptance of death.

Abstract
PURPOSE We developed a new technique to fold a neobladder (NB) simply by using a modified Vesica Ileale Padovana (VIP) with a hybrid approach. We provide a step-by-step description of our technique as it was used in this initial experience. METHODS A total of 10 male patients with a median age of 66 years underwent robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) with an orthotopic NB via a hybrid approach from March 2022 to February 2023. After the isolation of the bladder and bilateral pelvic lymphadenectomy, Wallace plate creation was performed, and the robot was undocked. We extracorporeally performed the removal of the specimen and a side-to-side ileoileal anastomosis, and then the VIP NB posterior plate was rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise using a 45 cm detubularized ileum. The robot was redocked; then, circumferential urethra-ileal anastomosis, side-to-middle anterior wall closure, and ureteric afferent limb anastomosis were performed. RESULTS The median estimated blood loss was 524 mL, and the mean operative time was 496 min. Patients had a high continence rate, and no high-grade complications were observed. CONCLUSION The NB configuration using the modified VIP method for a hybrid approach is a feasible surgical technique to minimize the movement of robotic forceps. In particular, it may be more useful in Asian individuals with narrow pelvises.

Abstract
Pelvic malignancies, including prostate, rectal, and bladder cancers, are among the most frequent malignancies found in the male population. These issues are most effectively and commonly treated with radiotherapy and/or surgery. However, these treatments can cause collateral damage, resulting in significant impacts on quality of life, with erectile dysfunction being one of the most frequent postoperative complications. Currently, there are several treatment options for erectile dysfunction, including oral phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors, vacuum erection devices, intracorporeal injections, and penile prosthesis. The latter has shown to be an effective and safe technique, with results comparable to those obtained by patients without pelvic surgery or radiotherapy. The results of early penile rehabilitation programs are promising and they have been incorporated into a greater proportion of treatment plans more recently, with varying degrees of success. In this narrative review, we summarize the literature on erectile dysfunction after pelvic cancer treatments and its management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Urinary diversions after radical cystectomy (RC) have a significant impact on quality of life and body image. Particularly for orthotopic neobladder (ONB), the rate of continence, urinary retention and urinary tract infections can impact on patient's quality of life. The aim of this study was to investigate whether early clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) might improve functional outcomes, continence status, and reduce the incidence of UTIs in patients with ONB. METHODS In this prospective randomized study patients were divided in two groups. Patients were on a standard postoperative care (group A) or started CIC within the first postoperative month (group B). All patients were evaluated postoperatively at 1, 3, 6, and 9 months after ONB. The CIC was executed 4 times/daily after each voluntary micturition. The postoperative evaluation included: post-void residual volume (PVR), urine analysis and culture, number of pads/day and the self-administrated questionnaire International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Urinary Incontinence Short Form (ICIQ-UI SF). RESULTS Thirty-nine male and 8 female patients underwent laparoscopic or robotic RC with intracorporeal ONB (37 U shaped and 10 Padua reconstructions). At the first follow up, mean PVR was in group A and B, 136.5 mL and 125.7 mL (P value: 0.105), respectively. The ICIQ-UI SF mean score was 16.2 and 17.1 (P value: 0.243) respectively and the mean no. of pads/day was 3 in both groups. 15 patients in group A and 10 in group B reported episodes of symptomatic UTIs. At 3, 6 and 9 months follow up after surgery the PVR and the ICIQ-UI SF scores were significantly improved (P value <0.0001). The number of pads decreased to 2 pads/day in group A and 1 in group B at 9 months. The episodes of UTIs significantly decreased over the time (P value <0.0001). CONCLUSIONS Our data support the early introduction of self CIC in patients with ONB after RC. The CIC was significantly associated a reduced risk of incontinence, urinary retention, and UTI with significant improvement in QoL. These encouraging data need to be confirmed by further investigations with a larger number of patients.

[PMID: 36578286 PMCID: PMC9791315 DOI: 10.1016/j.euros.2022.11.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 11/23/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The intracorporeal orthotopic modified-Y "Bordeaux" neobladder (iYNB) was first described in 2016. No urodynamic evaluation of this neobladder has yet been performed. Objective To present the urodynamic features of the iYNB and incontinence-specific health-related quality of life (HRQoL) outcomes. Design setting and participants We prospectively assessed 26 patients operated between September 2018 and November 2020. Surgical procedure Robotic radical cystectomy for malignant disease of the bladder and iYNB, performed by a single surgeon, were used. Measurements Three months after surgery and in November 2021, consenting patients underwent clinical evaluation and multichannel urodynamic study (UDS). The incontinence quality of life (I-QoL) questionnaire was used to evaluate HRQoL. Continence was classified into day- and nighttime, and clinically defined as the use of zero pads. A descriptive statistical analysis was performed. Results and limitations The mean age at surgery was 65.4 yr. The mean follow-up period was 27 mo (12-38). The mean time for the neobladder reconstruction was 192 min (110-340). The mean maximum capacity was 431 cm3 (range 200-553). The mean postvoid residual was 101.6 ml (0-310), and the rate of clean intermittent catheterization was 17.6%. With the exception of a significant reduction in the volume of the first sensation of bladder fullness, no other statistically significant changes in the UDS parameters of both the storage and the voiding phase were observed over time. Day- and nighttime continence rates were 58.8% and 23.5%, respectively. The mean postoperative I-QoL score was 103.3 (89-110). Limitations include the small number of patients and short follow-up. Conclusions The UDS evaluation of iYNB demonstrates that both the volumetric and the pressure characteristics are acceptable and may enhance quality of life. Prospective studies with larger numbers of patients and longer follow-up are needed to further evaluate the iYNB. Patient summary The "Bordeaux" neobladder provides acceptable urodynamic outcomes. It is associated with high levels of health-related quality of life and good rates of continence in patients.

Robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) and intracorporeal orthotopic neobladder (OINB) is technically a challenging surgery due to the involvement of prolonged console time and higher level of surgical skills. Therefore, standardizing technique and testament of good functional and oncological outcomes is required to increase its acceptance among surgeons. We report our experience of RARC with OINB and analyze the perioperative, functional, quality of life, and survival outcomes. Single surgeon experience of over 22 OINB after RARC is done, which includes 21 male and one female patients, was done retrospectively. Modified Karolinska Studer technique of neobladder creation was followed. Intraoperative findings, post-operative complications, and follow-up information were recorded for analysis. The patients' median age was 50.5 years (IQR, 41.25-55.50), and the median follow-up period was 45.5 months (IQR, 26.75-68). Median console time was 447.5 min (IQR, 347.5-500), blood loss was 225 ml (IQR, 200-250), and hospital stay was 12 days (IQR, 11-15). Most of the complications were Clavien-Dindo grades I and II. Longer surgery time and more complications were noted in the first 10 cases compared to the next 12 cases. Day and night-time urinary continence is 95% and 77% at 12 months, respectively. Two patients died of disease, and overall survival at 5 years was 84%. Our experience supports OINB as a feasible option after RCIC with acceptable complications, good functional and survival outcomes, with better quality of life. With experience, surgical morbidity and operative time decrease. This surgery should be undertaken after gaining experience with an intracorporeal ileal conduit and has a steep learning curve.

Abstract
PURPOSE Few data exist regarding the functional outcomes of robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) with intracorporeal orthotopic neobladder. The aim of this study was to evaluate the urodynamic and functional outcomes in patients undergoing RARC and totally intracorporeal orthotopic neobladder for bladder cancer. METHODS In this monocentric, observational study carried out between 2016 and 2020, consecutive patients undergoing RARC and intracorporeal orthotopic neobladder in the Department of Urology, Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital, were included. Reconstruction was totally intracorporeal Y-shaped neobladder. Main outcomes were urodynamic findings 6 months post-surgery, continence and quality of life (QoL). Continence was defined by no pad or one safety pad. International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire (ICIQ), International Index of Erectile Function questionnaire (IIEF-5) and Bladder Cancer Index (BCI) scores were recorded. RESULTS Fourteen male patients were included (median age: 64 years [IQR 54-67]. Median maximal neobladder cystometric capacity was 495 ml [IQR 410-606] and median compliance was 35.5 ml/cm H2O [IQR 28-62]. All patients had post-void residual volume < 30 ml, except for three (22%) who required clean intermittent-self catheterisation. Daytime continence was achieved in 10 patients (71%) and night-time continence in two (14.3%). Median ICIQ score was 7 [IQR 5-11]. Postoperative erectile function was present in 7% of patients (mean IIEF-5 = 5 [IQR 2-7]). Thirteen patients (93%) were satisfied with their choice of neobladder. CONCLUSION RARC with totally intracorporeal orthotopic neobladder for bladder cancer provides satisfactory urodynamic results and good QoL. These findings should be confirmed long-term.

Abstract
Orthotopic neobladder (ONB) reconstruction is a continent urinary diversion procedure increasingly used in patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer following radical cystectomy (RC). It represents a valid alternative to the ileal duct in suitable patients who do not prefer a stoma and are motivated to undergo adequate training of the neobladder. Careful patient selection, taking into account the absolute and relative contraindications for ONB as well as an adequate recovery protocol after surgery are integral to the success of this procedure and the oncological and functional outcomes. The objective of this review is to summarize the current data on RC with ONB in terms of patient selection, preoperative preparation, surgical techniques and functional (continence and sexual activity) and oncological outcomes, with particular attention to the management of complications and the impact on quality of life (QoL).

Abstract
Robot-assisted radical cystectomy has steadily gained wider acceptance among urologists compared with open and laparoscopic approaches. Robot-assisted radical cystectomy has shown comparable perioperative and oncologic outcomes compared with open radical cystectomy. Nevertheless, data about the functional outcomes and quality of life after robot-assisted radical cystectomy remain limited. We sought to review the literature and describe urinary, sexual and bowel functions after robot-assisted radical cystectomy in addition to mental health and health-related quality of life. Despite limitations of the available literature, data suggests that functional outcomes after robot-assisted radical cystectomy are comparable to open radical cystectomy. However, more studies utilizing standardized definitions are required.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is paucity of data about functional outcomes of Robot-assisted Radical Cystectomy (RARC) with intracorporeal orthotopic neobladder (ICON), and the impact of learning curve (LC) on those outcomes remains to be addressed. The aim of this study was to report long-term functional outcomes of our single center series of RARC with ICON, assessing the role of LC in their achievement. METHODS Patients treated with Robot assisted radical cystectomy with intracorporeal orthotopic neobladder in our center between January 2012 and August 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Preoperative, clinical, perioperative, pathologic and functional data were reported. The first cases were divided in tertiles, for assessing the impact of learning curve on the outcomes evaluated. Long-term functional outcomes of the whole cohort were evaluated. RESULTS Overall, 167 patients were included. Concerning tertiles analysis, operative time (P<0.001), incidence of low (P=0.002) and high grade (P=0.001) complications and hospital stay (P=0.04) decreased significantly over time. Day-time continence recovery probability was significantly lower in the initial case series (1-yr rate 68.4%, 87% and 89.8 for I, II and III tertile, respectively; P=0.04;). Accordingly, Trifecta achievement was significantly higher in II and III tertiles (P=0.01). At a median follow- up of 34 months, the incidence of significant renal function deterioration of the whole cohort was 16.7%. Overall, 12, 24 and 60-mo day-time continence rates were 74.8%, 82.7% and 82.7%. CONCLUSIONS Patients treated at the beginning of the learning curve show worse perioperative and functional results. Once standardized the procedure, complications rates, hospital stay, and day-time continence recovery experienced a significant improvement. At a long-term analysis of functional outcomes of our patients, renal function preservation and continence recovery results are encouraging.

Abstract
Robotic-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) has been gaining momentum as an alternative to its conventional open radical cystectomy (ORC) for the management of invasive bladder cancer. Although RARC, in general, demonstrated less blood loss and shorter hospital stay than ORC, whether there is any significant difference in the overall complication rate still requires further investigation. Thus, both RARC and ORC share a similar oncology outcome, with comparable positive surgical margin rates, disease-free survival, and overall survival. Techniques of intracorporeal urinary diversion (ICUD) have not yet been standardized. ICUD may result in a lower risk of ureteroileal anastomotic stricture than extracorporeal urinary diversion (ECUD). However, ECUD is still a valid and commonly practiced option according to the available data. In general, RARC has been demonstrated to provide promising results. Long-term data and functional outcome after RARC and ICUD are needed to further validate the role of RARC in the management of bladder cancer.
