Male Neobladder

Abstract

Successful outcome with orthotopic neobladders begins in the preoperative phase with appropriate patient selection and extensive patient counseling. Meticulous attention to surgical and oncological principles is required to optimize neobladder outcomes. Long-term follow-up is needed not only for oncological purposes but also to monitor for the late complications, such as ureterointestinal strictures, renal deterioration, infections, and voiding dysfunction.

Keywords: Bladder Cancer; Neobladder; Radical cystectomy; Urinary diversion.
