Abstract

After radical cystoprostatovesikulectomy, an ileal bladder substitute had been performed in 14 male patients à modo Studer. In order to avoid peristalsis with high pressure peaks resulting in incontinence, the antimesenteric border was transsected, and an ileal low-pressure pouch was created. One to two months after operation, the continence for urine was good or excellent. After a follow-up time of 12 months, no metabolic disorders requirling any substitution, nor pyelonephritic changes were observed.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a cohort study, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence. Reported size: 14 participants or records.
