Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To improve the technique of detenia cecal-ascending colon continent urinary reservoir for farther improving the life quality of the patient.

METHODS: Orthotopic detenia cecal-ascending colon urinary reservoir was carried out by complete resection of all the tenia and multiple transverse incision of colonic circular muscular layer for 18 patients with bladder cancer underwent radical cystectomy.

RESULTS: The patients have been followed up for 6-20 months. All were completely continent during the day and 13 patients got complete continence at the night. Only 3 patients had nocturnal incontinence. The capacity of the urine reservoir was 410-520 ml. The maximum intrareservoir pressure was 39-60 cmH2O, while the post-micturition residual volume was 15-46 ml and the maximum flow rate was 12-28 ml/per second. No evidence of ureter reflux and ureteral obstruction was observed and serum electrolytes were normal in all patients.

CONCLUSIONS: Orthotopic detenia cecal-ascending colon urinary reservoir shows good clinical and functional results, and the simple technique, exerts low pressure in the reservoir and produces minimal complications.

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: 18 participants or records.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
