Urinary undiversion transforming an ileal conduit into an orthotopic continent neobladder: First case in our country

Özet

Radical cystectomy (RC) with urinary diversion (UD) is still the standard treatment method for muscleinvasive bladder cancer. Type of UD is determined according to some characteristics of the patient andthe tumor. Even in the most experienced hands, alternative scenarios may require an alternative diversion,including emergency UD for complications requiring immediate take down of the initial UD, tumor recurrence impacting the urinary tract or the UD, progressive impairment of renal function (in patients with acontinent UD), malfunction/complications of the initial UD, and patient dislike of a stoma. We report a caseof undiversion with natural history and outcome in a patient who had previously undergone RC and ilealconduit performed.
