Abstract
Purpose
To report the voiding pattern and continence stati in male patients having undergone a radical cystectomy and orthotopic bladder substitution.
Materials and Methods
Between March 2000 and June 2005, 20 men with advanced bladder cancer had a radical cystoprostatectomy and urinary diversion via an ileal orthotopic bladder substitution. The voiding pattern and continence stati were assessed using patient interviews, frequency-volume charts and pad tests at 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after catheter removal.
Results
The mean age and follow-up were 60.5 years (41-72) and 34.1 months (12-69), respectively. Neobladder substitution was performed with an ileum in all patients. 17 patients had reconstruction with a Studer neobladder and 3 with a W-pouch Hautmann. All patients had transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) and their tumor stages ranged from T1G3 to T4aN1M0. The frequency of voiding ranged from 4 to 12 times during the day, and 0 to 5 times during the night, with a mean maximum neobladder capacity of 336ml (200-620) and maximum flow rate of 24.6ml/sec (12-46) 12 months after removal of the catheter. No patient required intermittent self-catheterization. All-time continence rates were 15, 30, 65 and 85%, and all-time incontinence rates were 55, 25, 10 and 5% at 1, 3, 6 and 9 months after catheter removal, respectively.
