Abstract

Purpose: Several different methods to construct a bladder substitute after cystectomy have been described. We evaluated our experience with the Studer ileal ureter neobladder during the last 5 years.

Materials and methods: We reviewed retrospectively the results in 32 patients who underwent construction of a slightly modified ileal neobladder from that originally described. Mean followup was 25 months (range 6 to 68).

Results: Patients experienced few complications and only 1 required reoperation. Daytime and nighttime continence rates were 94 and 74%, respectively. One patient sustained a ureteral stricture resulting in hydronephrosis (1 of 64 renal units).

Conclusions: The results reveal the ileal neobladder to be an easily constructed pouch with a low complication rate, and a high success rate in regard to continence and the establishment of adequate capacity at low pressure. Within the study period upper tract preservation was excellent. However, a 10 to 15-year followup is indicated to confirm our initial results.
