Abstract

BASIS: To evaluate the complications on patients undergoing radical cystectomy with Camey II ileal orthotopic neobladder.

METHODS: To review our series of 61 radical cystectomies performed between 1990 and 1999 for bladder cancer. The complications were divided in early (30 days or less) and late.

RESULTS: A patient died at the immediate postoperative. It appeared 35 early complications on 30 patients: 8 related with neobladder (urinary fistula and urinary infection) and 27 not related, being the most frequent those appearing at bowel site, with 10 early surgeries (16.4%). After evaluating 55 patients for late complications, 39 presented some kind of complication: 38 related with neobladder and 13 not related, 30 patients underwent surgery, being 19 of them under endoscopic way. 74.4% of continents by day and 31.4% at night.

CONCLUSIONS: Despite the acceptable functional results, the orthotopic bladder substitution presents a not comptemtible rate of complications. In other way, a lack of standard criteria make difficult the comparation with other series and types of bladder substitution.
