Clin Genitourin Cancer 2015; 14:244-8. [PMID: 26362072 DOI: 10.1016/j.clgc.2015.07.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2015] [Revised: 07/27/2015] [Accepted: 07/30/2015] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to evaluate if use of an ileal conduit (IC) versus a neobladder (NB) during radical cystectomy (RC) can play a role in the morbidity of the surgical procedure. PATIENTS AND METHODS Since 2001 our institution has prospectively maintained a database of more than 500 patients who have undergone RC. The records of 258 patients who received an RC and IC and 121 who received an RC and NB were reviewed for the present study. Using a binary logistic regression model a propensity score was generated for the following factors: sex, age, smoking habit, Charlson score, American Society of Anesthesiology score, preoperative hydronephrosis, and pathologic T stage. Two groups of patients with similar propensity scores were created with a ratio of 1:1, one group who received an IC and another who received an NB. The following features were compared between the 2 groups: blood loss, intraoperative complication rate, time to oral intake resumption, postoperative complication rate (overall, Clavien classification 1-2, Clavien classification 3-5, related to RC, related to urinary reconstruction). RESULTS In total, 170 patients were selected; 85 with NB, 85 with IC, and the 2 groups were well matched according to the desired features. No differences were noted for all of the compared features. CONCLUSION The morbidity of RC does not seem to be affected by the choice of IC versus NB.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study is to evaluate whether performing an ileal conduit (IC) versus a neobladder(NB) during radical cystectomy (RC) can play a role on the morbidity of the surgical procedure. MATERIALS AND METHODS At our institution since 2001, a database collecting the data of more than 450 patients who have undergone RC is perspectively maintained.The records of 246 patients submitted to RC and IC and 120 to RC and NB have been reviewed for the present study. By a binary logistic regression model, a propensity score was generated joining these factors: gender,age, smoking habit, Charlson’ comorbidity score, platelet antiaggregants or oral anticoagulant therapy, ASA(American Society of Anesthesiologists) score, hydronephrosis, pathologic T stage, and lymphadenectomy. A group of patients submitted to IC and another to NB having the closer propensity score were created with a matching ratio of 1:1. The following features were compared between the two groups: operative time, blood loss,intraoperative complication rate, and postoperative complications rate (overall, clavien 1-2, clavien ≥, related toRC, relate to urinary reconstruction).Results: One hundred thirty-four patients were selected, 67 submitted to NB, 67 to IC, well matched according to the desired features. No differences were noted for all the compared features.Conclusion: The morbidity of RC does not seem to be dependent on the choice to perform IC versus NB.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate, in a prospective study, the clinical outcome of orthotopic neobladder reconstruction after radical cystectomy in patients with a solitary functioning kidney at the time of surgery. PATIENTS AND METHODS This study included a total of 28 patients (25 males and three females) with muscle invasive bladder cancer and a solitary functioning kidney at the time of surgery who underwent radical cystectomy (anterior pelvic excentration for females) and urinary reconstruction using orthotopic neobladder at The National Cancer Institute, Cairo University between February 2004 and April 2009. The surgical procedures included ileocaecal neobladder in 19 patients, ileal neobladder (Studer) in five and sigmoid neobladder in four. All perioperative and long-term complications were recorded. The renal functions were evaluated using mainly serum creatinine level, abdominal ultrasonography and intravenous urography (IVU). RESULTS The mean age of patients was 51.4years (range of 38-62years) while the mean follow-up period was 41.4months (range 18-62months). Early complications included wound infections in five patients, urine leakage in six, abdominal dehiscence with deep venous thrombosis in two, intestinal obstruction and prolonged ileus in three. During the follow-up period, 21 renal units (75%) remained stable with normal serum creatinine level and normal radiological configuration of the kidney. The remaining seven patients (25%) developed varying degrees of renal deterioration either due to uretero-intestinal stricture in three patients (10.7%), who were all treated by open surgical revision of the anastomotic sites or due to stricture at the vesico-urethral anastomosis in four patients (14.3%) that had been successfully managed by endoscopic dilatation and internal urethrotomy with stabilization of renal function. Severe metabolic acidosis occurred in one patient while mild forms occurred in three. These four patients required sodium bicarbonate therapy and their metabolic status was normalized thereafter. CONCLUSION Selecting the type of urinary diversion is important in patients with a solitary functioning kidney after radical cystectomy. Orthotopic neobladder reconstruction is a good choice in properly selected patients and could provide comparatively satisfactory results. Accordingly, a solitary functioning kidney should not be regarded as a contraindication for neobladder reconstruction after radical cystectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The rate of continent urinary diversion after radical cystectomy for bladder cancer varies by patient and provider characteristics. Demonstration of equivalent complication rates, independent of diversion type, may decrease provider reluctance to perform continent reconstructions. The authors sought to determine whether continent reconstructions confer increased complication rates after radical cystectomy. METHODS From the Nationwide Inpatient Sample, the authors used International Classification of Disease (ICD-9) codes to identify subjects who underwent radical cystectomy for bladder cancer during 2001-2005. They determined acute postoperative medical and surgical complications from ICD-9 codes and compared complication rates by reconstruction type using the nearest neighbor propensity score matching method and multivariate logistic regression models. RESULTS Adjusting for case-mix differences between reconstructive groups, continent diversions conferred a lower risk of medical, surgical, and disposition-related complications that was statistically significant for bowel (3.1% lower risk; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], -6.8% to -0.1%), urinary (1.2% lower risk; 95% CI, -2.3%, to -0.4%), and other surgical complications (3.0% lower risk; 95% CI, -6.2% to -0.4%), and discharge other than home (8.2% lower risk; 95% CI, -12.1% to -4.6%) compared with ileal conduit subjects. Older age and certain comorbid conditions, including congestive heart failure and preoperative weight loss, were associated with significantly increased odds of postoperative medical and surgical complications in all subjects. CONCLUSIONS Mode of urinary diversion after radical cystectomy for bladder cancer is not associated with increased risk of immediate postoperative complications. These results may encourage broader consideration of continent urinary diversion without concern for increased complication rates.

Abstract
Muscle-invasive urothelial (transitional cell) carcinoma is a potentially lethal condition for which an attempt at curative surgery is required. Clinical staging does not allow for accurate determination of eventual pathologic status. Muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma is a highly progressive disease, and initiation of definitive therapy within 3 months of diagnosis is worthwhile. Age is not a contraindication for aggressive surgical care, and surgical candidates should be evaluated in the context of overall medical comorbidity. In those patients who undergo surgery, clinical pathways may streamline care. Radical cystectomy remains the "gold standard" of therapy, providing 5-year survival rates of 75% to 80% in patients with organ-confined disease, yet organ-sparing procedures demonstrate clinical effectiveness as well. Cystectomy should be undertaken with the intent of performing complete pelvic lymph node dissection and attaining surgically negative margins. In younger female patients, the preservation of reproductive organs may be achieved in many cases. Prostate- and seminal vesicle-preserving cystectomy has been performed, yet the long-term safety and efficacy of such a procedure remains to be determined. Laparoscopic and robotic cystectomy procedures continue to be explored by several investigators. The role of "radical transurethral resection" in muscle-invasive disease is limited to a small cohort of patients, and, when it is performed, cystectomy may be required to consolidate therapy. Postoperative follow-up after cystectomy should occur over short intervals during the first 2 years and can be extended, but not discontinued, beyond that time. Currently, no tumor markers have been prospectively validated to help guide clinical decision making, and prospective trials incorporating marker data should be encouraged.

Abstract
A consensus conference convened by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Société Internationale d'Urologie (SIU) met to critically review reports of urinary diversion. The world literature on urinary diversion was identified through a Medline search. Evidence-based recommendations for urinary diversion were prepared with reference to a 4-point scale. Many level 3 and 4 citations, but very few level 2 and no level 1, were noted. This outcome supported the clinical practice pattern. Findings of >300 reviewed citations are summarized. Published reports on urinary diversion rely heavily on expert opinion and single-institution retrospective case series: (1) The frequency distribution of urinary diversions performed by the authors of this report in >7000 patients with cystectomy reflects the current status of urinary diversion after cystectomy for bladder cancer: neobladder, 47%; conduit, 33%; anal diversion, 10%; continent cutaneous diversion, 8%; incontinent cutaneous diversion, 2%; and others, 0.1%. (2) No randomized controlled studies have investigated quality of life (QOL) after radical cystectomy. Such studies are desirable but are probably difficult to conduct. Published evidence does not support an advantage of one type of reconstruction over the others with regard to QOL. An important proposed reason for this is that patients are subjected preoperatively to method-to-patient matching, and thus are prepared for disadvantages associated with different methods. (3) Simple end-to-side, freely refluxing ureterointestinal anastomosis to an afferent limb of a low-pressure orthotopic reconstruction, in combination with regular voiding and close follow-up, is the procedure that results in the lowest overall complication rate. The potential benefit of "conventional" antireflux procedures in combination with orthotopic reconstruction seems outweighed by the higher complication and reoperation rates. The need to prevent reflux in a continent cutaneous reservoir is not significantly debated, and this should be done. (4) Most reconstructive surgeons have abandoned the continent Kock ileal reservoir largely because of the significant complication rate associated with the intussuscepted nipple valve.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Assessment of the long-term morbidity of the upper urinary tract and of the voiding pattern in men with an ileal orthotopic bladder substitute with an afferent tubular segment. MATERIALS AND METHODS Men surviving more than 5 years after radical cystectomy and orthotopic bladder substitution were evaluated. The urinary tract was regularly assessed with ultrasound and IVU while functional reservoir capacity and continence status were prospectively assessed by voiding volume diaries and a standardized questionnaire. RESULTS After 5 years 129, after 10 years 45 and after 15 years 8 patients were evaluable. Median age at surgery was 63 years (range 36-80) and median follow-up was 73 months (range 60-201). Of the 254 renal units assessed between April 1985 and September 1998, 199 (78%) had some degree of dilatation in the 20-minute IVU film but rarely at 60 minutes. In 246 (97%) the parenchyma size was normal. Ureteral obstruction presented in 9 (3.5%) units, 4 of which were complete (3 had obstruction preoperatively and 1 postoperatively). Mean creatinine levels remained unchanged from the preoperative values. Functional reservoir capacity averaged 462 ml after 1 year, remained stable and then decreased slightly after 5 years. The daytime continence rate was 94% and 91% after 5 and 10 years, while the nighttime rate was 72% and 60% respectively. Patient age at the time of surgery was an important determinant for reservoir capacity and continence status. CONCLUSIONS These data suggest that an orthotopic bladder substitution combined with an afferent tubular segment offers a sufficient protection of the upper tract with a low complication rate and has good long-term voiding and continence results. Meticulous lifelong follow-up is an important factor for satisfactory functional long-term outcome.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To review the impact of gender on blood loss, transfusions, and complications. Radical cystectomy is technically different between men and women. Unique to women, dissection of the anterior vaginal wall can be associated with added blood loss. METHODS We analyzed the records of 262 consecutive patients who underwent radical cystectomy for urothelial carcinoma from March 1993 to March 2003. The perioperative variables, amount of blood loss, transfusion requirements, need for intensive care, length of hospitalization, and 30-day complications were examined. RESULTS Women accounted for 24% (n = 63) of this series and had a median operative blood loss of 1.4 L compared with 0.5 L in men (P = 0.001). The transfusion rate was 82% in women and 55% in men (P = 0.001), with the median number of units transfused greater in women (3 U versus 2 U, P = 0.043). Also, 31% of women needed intensive care compared with 15% of men (P = 0.004). The median postoperative stay was similar at 9 days for women and 8 days for men (P = 0.099). The incidence of complications was not significantly different statistically between the gender groups, occurring in 43% of women and 33% of men (P = 0.161). Major complications occurred in 8% of women and 7.5% of men, and the most common minor complication was ileus, reported in 19% of women and 14% of men. CONCLUSIONS Although the overall complications and length of hospital stay were similar between the gender groups, radical cystectomy in women was associated with greater blood loss, transfusion requirements, and intensive care needs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To present the results of a new technique for construction of a sigmoid neobladder after radical cystectomy. METHODS Forty-two men, 43 to 74 years of age (mean age 62 +/- 8), underwent radical cystectomy for invasive bladder cancer and had a sigmoid neobladder created using a modification of the standard ureterointestinal anastomosis with rotation of the reservoir. The mean follow-up of this retrospective study was 35 +/- 20 months (range 6 to 90). The blood chemistry was analyzed routinely during follow-up, and complications, continence, and voiding pattern were assessed at regular intervals. RESULTS There were 21 early complications in 14 patients: persistent urinary leakage in 2; wound infection in 9; prolonged ileus in 4; leakage from the colonic anastomosis in 2; and pulmonary embolus in 2. One patient each had venous thrombus of the lower extremities and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus colitis. One patient died in the perioperative period of massive pulmonary embolus, yielding a mortality rate of 2.4%. Eleven late complications occurred in 9 patients. Stenosis of the ureterointestinal anastomosis developed in 2 of 82 anastomoses, stenosis of urethral anastomosis in 4, and neobladder-ureteral reflux in 1. A reservoir stone was found in 1 patient, and adenoma and adenocarcinoma of the reservoir occurred in 1 patient each. One patient developed symptomatic hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis, and routine electrolyte evaluation revealed a slight metabolic acidosis in 6 patients. Hypovitaminosis B(12) did not occur in any patients. Of the 42 patients, 40 could void volitionally without catheterization. Patient satisfaction on continence, by day and night, was 77.3% and 72.7%, respectively. The mean neobladder capacity and the mean residual urine volume was 375 +/- 116 mL (range 234 to 624) and 68 +/- 86 mL (range 4 to 365), respectively. CONCLUSIONS The modified sigmoid neobladder provides satisfactory results after radical cystectomy.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The Department of Urology in Lund, Sweden, has a long association with innovations in reconstructive urology. The authors from that department describe their experience over a long period with orthotopic bladder substitution and continent cutaneous urinary diversion. They conclude that continent urinary tract reconstruction is associated with a high incidence of early and late complications. They also found that for storage and emptying, their Lundiana pouch was superior to the Goldwasser neobladder. OBJECTIVE To assess the early and late complications and functional results in patients undergoing continent reconstruction of the urinary tract, i.e. orthotopic bladder substitution (OBS) or continent cutaneous diversion (CCD). PATIENTS AND METHODS The medical records of all patients undergoing OBS (Goldwasser technique) or CCD ('Lundiana' technique) for malignant or benign disease during 1987-1999 and followed to December 2001 were reviewed. There were 67 patients with neobladders, 77 with a Lundiana pouch who had undergone radical cystectomy and 22 with a Lundiana pouch operated for benign disorders. RESULTS Early complications requiring reoperation occurred in 12% of the cystectomy group, with no difference with type of reconstruction, and in 10% with benign diseases. Four patients (3%) undergoing radical cystectomy died from early cardiovascular complications, two after surgery for intra-abdominal complications. Intestinally related complications and wound dehiscence requiring re-operation occurred in nine and six patients, respectively. The incidence of late complications requiring open surgery was 22% and 23% after cystectomy with OBS and CCD, respectively. The value in patients with benign diseases undergoing CCD was also 23%. Stone formation in the pouch was common, occurring in 12% in patients with OBS and in 10% after CCD. The pouch perforated or ruptured in four patients. The incidence of uretero-intestinal stricture using the Le Duc technique was 2.4% and renal function was well preserved. The incidence of revisional surgery of the Lundiana pouch outlet for incontinence was low and all patients but four were continent. The functional outcome in patients with OBS was less good; some needed pouch augmentation or an artificial urinary sphincter. Most patients used incontinence products and many needed clean intermittent self-catheterization. CONCLUSION Continent urinary tract reconstruction is associated with a high incidence of early and late complications. For storage and emptying, the CCD Lundiana pouch is superior to the OBS of Goldwasser.

Abstract
PURPOSE The goals of urinary diversion have evolved from simply diverting the urine through a conduit to orthotopic reconstruction, which provides a safe and continent means to store and eliminate urine with efforts to provide an improved quality of life. We address meaningful points that may help optimize clinical results in patients with an orthotopic bladder substitute. MATERIALS AND METHODS The review involved an objective evaluation of the basic science literature of functional, structural and physiological characteristics of gastrointestinal tissue as a substitute for bladder. Potential problems that may be associated with particular parts of the gut for use in reconstruction are discussed. We also summarize the clinical results and complications of orthotopic reconstruction. RESULTS In the last 10 years the paradigm for choosing urinary diversion has changed substantially: In 2002 all patients undergoing cystectomy were neobladder candidates. It is critically important to understand the phenomenon of maturation. The motor and pharmacological response of the implanted gut changes dramatically toward that of the bladder. Structural and ultrastructural changes in the ileal mucosa lead to a primitive epithelium similar to urothelium. The need for reflux prevention is not the same as in ureterosigmoidostomy conduit or continent diversion. Reflux prevention in neobladders is even less important than in a normal bladder. When using nonrefluxing techniques, the risk of obstruction is at least twice that after direct anastomosis. Kidney function is not impaired by diversion if stenosis is recognized and managed. Patient health status is more influenced by underlying disease than by diversion. Complications of neobladders are actually similar to or lower than the true rates after conduit formation, in contrast to the popular view that conduits are simple and safe. Some degree of nocturnal leakage is a consistent finding in most reports despite a technically sound operation. The precise pathogenesis of urinary retention requiring clean intermittent catheterization remains uncertain. There are new complications, such as neobladder rupture and mucous tamponade. CONCLUSIONS Orthotopic reconstruction has passed the test of time. In these patients life is similar to that in individuals with a native lower urinary tract. Until a better solution is devised orthotopic bladder reconstruction remains the best option for patients requiring cystectomy.

Abstract
For the majority of patients with invasive bladder carcinoma, radical cystectomy remains the gold standard of care. As a result the twentieth century has seen the continuous development of methods for reconstructing the urinary tract. Two decades ago the ileal conduit was by far the most commonly used method, whereas today methods geared toward patient continence are first choices in most centers. Some of these methods are unquestionably more complex than the ileal conduit, yet whether they actually yield uniformly improved quality of life is the cause of much debate. Many different variables play a role in determining the best type of reconstruction for an individual bladder cancer patient. This review analyzes the different factors that must be considered to obtain an optimal match between patient and reconstructive method.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare postoperative morbidity and mortality in a concurrent and contemporary series of patients who underwent radical cystectomy with ileal conduit versus orthotopic neobladder. METHODS The data of 198 patients were reviewed, 117 with orthotopic reconstruction and 81 with ileal conduit during a 5-year time frame. Thirty-day morbidity, mortality, reoperative rates, and parameters associated with the surgical procedures were obtained from chart review. RESULTS No perioperative or postoperative deaths occurred in either group. The median operative time for the ileal conduit was 201 minutes (range 140 to 373), and for the orthotopic neobladder, it was 270 minutes (range 230 to 425). The median blood loss was 389 and 474 mL, respectively. The median length of hospitalization was 8 days for the ileal conduit group and 7 days for the orthotopic neobladder group. Diversion-related complications recognized within 30 days that ultimately required a return to the operating room occurred in 3.4% of those with a neobladder and 1.2% of those with an ileal conduit. CONCLUSIONS The orthotopic neobladder is a longer and technically more complex procedure than the ileal conduit procedure. However, no demonstrable difference in morbidity or perioperative complications were found between the two procedures in our review.

Abstract
Continent urinary diversion has evolved from an investigational method of urinary tract reconstruction to an accepted, and in many instances preferred, option for men and women facing radical cystectomy. Over the last 15 years, we have learned much about the different procedures, their durability, and their success rates. This article reports on the procedures that the authors believe are associated with the highest success rates and the lowest complication rates. At this time, continent diversion should be offered to all appropriate candidates, and these procedures should be considered a part of the standard urologic armamentarium.

Abstract
PURPOSE We compare the perioperative and long-term morbidity of a cohort of patients who had undergone Studer ileal neobladder urinary diversion with that of a similar cohort who had undergone ileal conduit urinary diversion during the same interval and by the same surgeons. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between 1990 and 1996 we performed Studer ileal neobladder urinary diversion in 62 men and 4 women, and ileal conduit urinary diversion in 66 men. Mean age of the neobladder and conduit patients was 62 and 69 years, and mean followup was 17 and 20 months, respectively. RESULTS Of 66 neobladder cases (18%) 12 had a total of 16 perioperative complications and a 5% reoperation rate, whereas 12 of 66 conduit cases (18%) had a total of 17 perioperative complications and a 6% reoperation rate. Mean hospital stay was 13 days for each group. Of the neobladder cases 14 (21%) had 14 late complications and an 11% reoperation rate, whereas 8 conduit cases (12%) had 9 late complications and an 8% reoperation rate. CONCLUSIONS The Studer ileal neobladder urinary diversion is a safe procedure with perioperative and long-term morbidity comparable to ileal conduit diversion at our institution.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the long-term results and assess the quality of life in patients with continent urinary diversions after cystectomy. PATIENTS AND METHODS Eighty-six consecutive patients who received a continent urinary diversion from 1988 to 1994 at the Vancouver Hospital and Health Sciences Center were evaluated. The evaluation comprised a review of their hospital charts and clinic visits at 3 months and then yearly. Quality of life issues were assessed using a postal questionnaire pertaining to the patient's urinary symptoms. activity level and overall well-being while living with a continent urinary diversion. Two separate questionnaires were sent, addressing heterotopic or orthotopic diversions. RESULTS There was an acceptable rate of complications, with stone formation and urinary tract infection as the most common morbidities. Continence was rated as good in most patients, with no patient reporting complete incontinence. Undesirable urinary symptoms occurred less often than 20% of the time in most patients. Although there was a significant effect on sex life, the overall quality of life appeared to be very good, as 70% of the patients had no limitations to their activities. CONCLUSIONS The techniques currently evolved for urinary diversion produce good long-term results and quality of life. These diversions should be considered in a well selected patient population.

Abstract
A questionnaire study was conducted to evaluate the sexological problems after urinary diversion, using the continent Kock reservoir or the ileal conduit diversion. Thirty-seven female patients completed the questionnaire: 17 patients had a continent and 20 an ileal conduit diversion, with a median follow-up of 0.8 year (range 0.5-4.4) and 4.6 years (range 2.8-12.0), respectively. Data from only 33 patients were eligible for analysis, but no significant between-group differences were found. Coital frequency remained unchanged or increased among 44% of patients with a continent reservoir and among 18% of ileal conduit patients (p = 0.11). Among those reporting other than unchanged/increased activity almost one-third gave physical problems or decreased desire as the reason, and 30% felt less sexually attractive, with cystectomized patients reporting a higher percentage than others. A higher frequency of dyspareunia among patients with a continent reservoir was an unexpected finding (p = 0.06), and merits further investigation in a larger sample. Here it may be due to the shorter follow-up of these patients. Thirty per cent of all patients would have like more sexological counselling.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: The optimal mode of urinary tract reconstruction following cystectomy continues to challenge the urologic surgeon. Disadvantages with bowel conduits have prompted the search for better techniques to improve patient outcomes. METHODS: The development of urinary tract reconstruction is reviewed, and results from several forms of continent urinary diversion and bladder replacement construction are presented. The authors report on their experience in creating continent reservoirs or neobladders in over 400 patients. RESULTS: Several surgical approaches are now available for continent urinary diversion. Metabolic and nutritional abnormalities, stone formation, infection, and cancer formation are potential complications. CONCLUSIONS: Advances in surgical techniques, an understanding of the physiology of isolated bowel segments, and improvements in pre- and post-operative care have altered the field of urinary reconstruction after cystectomy for bladder cancer. Most patients can expect minimal morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
We wish to dedicate this review article on radical cystectomy, its complications and their prevention to the memory of Prof. Luciano Giuliani. The article is based on a work written originally by Jim Montie and many other authors for the consensus meeting on bladder cancer held in Antwerp in 1994 and recently published in a booklet entitled “Global strategy for bladder cancer” (1). With the consent of Montie and the other co-authors, we have prepared on updated Italian version, inserting some parts (such as vascular complications) which were treated more superficially in the preliminary text.
