Deterioration of renal function has been reported after radical cystectomy (RC) with urinary diversion. We investigated renal function changes in elderly bladder cancer (BCa) patients who underwent RC with cutaneous ureterostomy (CU) urinary diversio...

Background: This study aims to compare perioperative morbidity and drainage tube dependence following open radical cystectomy (ORC) with ileal conduit (IC) or cutaneous ureterostomy (CU) for bladder cancer. Methods: A single-center, retrospective coh...

Bladder cancer ranks as the 10th most prevalent cancer globally with an increasing incidence. Radical cystectomy combined with urinary diversion represents the standard treatment for muscle-invasive bladder cancer, offering a range of techniques tail...

Introduction: This article compares surgical and survival outcomes of robot-assisted and open radical cystectomy with cutaneous ureterostomy for the treatment of frail bladder cancer patients with limited life expectancy. Methods: The institutional d...

Background/Objectives: While robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) has shown potential benefits over open radical cystectomy (ORC), such as reduced blood loss and quicker recovery, its adoption has been limited because of its complexity and long l...

The psychological impact on patients suffering radical cystectomy is twofold—(both that of the underlying neoplastic disease and that measured by the quality of life subsequent to surgery) and increases as the urinary derivation technique is less phy...

Background/Objectives: Radical cystectomy (RC) represents one of the most complex and morbid surgical procedures in the field of Urology. Extraperitoneal open RC has emerged as an alternative to the traditional transperitoneal approach for the treatm...

Background: The incidence of urinary tract infections (UTIs) after radical cystectomy (RC) with urinary diversion (UD), the typical pathogens, and associated patient risk factors have not been well documented. In this study, we examined the incidence...

Introduction: Uretero–arterial fistula (UAF) represents a rare condition that manifests as massive or intermittent hematuria and requires collaboration between a urologist, vascular surgeon and interventional radiologist. In this article, we pr...
