Project description:PurposeThe aim of this study was to compare the body images of patients who underwent radical cystectomy with an orthotopic ileal neobladder or an ileal conduit.Materials and methodsA total of 114 adult patients who underwent radical cystectomy between March 2006 and December 2012 at a single institution, Ewha Womans University Mokdong Hospital in Korea, were evaluated in this retrospective chart-review study. Forty-two patients (29 orthotopic ileal neobladder and 13 ileal conduit) who completed questionnaires were included in the final analysis; the remaining patients were excluded. The patients were assessed with two questionnaires: the Korean version of the Body Image Scale (K-BIS) and the self-designed questionnaire.ResultsThe results did not differ significantly by age at surgery, time from surgery to survey, pathologic stage, grade, histologic subtype, education, residency, or Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status, but did differ significantly by age at survey and sex. The mean summary score for K-BIS showed significant differences between the two groups (p=0.001). We found that patients who underwent an orthotopic ileal neobladder had a significantly better body image. The self-designed questionnaire score was not significantly different between the two groups (p=0.572).ConclusionsIn our retrospective analysis, patients who underwent orthotopic ileal neobladder had a superior body image compared with those who underwent an ileal conduit.

Project description:BackgroundRadical cystectomy (RC) with urinary diversion is the recommended treatment for selected cases of non-metastatic high-risk non-muscle-invasive and muscle-invasive bladder cancer. It remains unknown whether robot-assisted laparoscopic cystectomy (RARC) offers any advantage in terms of safety compared to open cystectomy (ORC) in an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) setup. Blinded randomised controlled trials (RCTs) between RARC versus ORC have never been conducted in cystectomy patients. We will investigate the feasibility of conducting a double-blinded RCT comparing ORC with RARC with intra-corporal ileal conduit (iRARC) in an ERAS setup.MethodsThis is a single-centre, double-blinded, randomised (1:1) clinical feasibility study for patients with non-metastatic high-risk non-muscle-invasive or muscle-invasive bladder cancer scheduled for cystectomy. All participants are recruited from Rigshospitalet, Denmark. The planned sample size is 50 participants to investigate whether blinding of the surgical technique is feasible. Participants and postoperative caring physicians and nurses are blinded using a pre-study designed abdominal dressing and blinding of the patient's electronic health record. Study endpoints are assessed 90 days postoperatively. The primary aim is to study the frequency and pattern of unplanned unblinding after surgery and the number of participants who cannot guess the surgical technique at the day of discharge. Eleven secondary endpoints are assessed: length of stay, days alive and out of hospital, in-hospital complication rate, 30-day complication rate, 90-day complication rate, readmission rate, quality of life, blood loss, pain, rate of moderate/severe post-anaesthesia care unit (PACU) complications, and delirium. Participants are managed in an ERAS setup in both arms of the trial.DiscussionWe report on the design and objectives of a novel experimental feasibility study investigating whether blinding of the surgical technique in cystectomy patients is possible. This information is essential for the design of future blinded trials comparing ORC to RARC. There is a continued need to compare RARC and ORC in terms of both efficacy, safety, and oncological outcomes. Estimated end of study is March 2021.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT03977831. Registered on the 6th of June 2019.

Project description:ObjectiveIleal conduit urinary diversion (ICUD) is the most common procedure after radical cystectomy. Although complications have been reported, few patients with ICUD and bladder preservation controls have been available for long-term follow-up. This study compared the long-term effect of structural changes after cystectomy with ICUD to that in bladder preservation controls.DesignA retrospective nationwide cohort study.SettingData retrieved from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database.ParticipantsThe National Health Insurance database was explored for patients diagnosed with bladder cancer between 1997 and 2006. Only cancer-free patients without chemotherapy and other types of urinary diversion who lived for >5 years were included in the analysis.Outcome measuresPatient characteristics, comorbidity and postoperative urinary tract disease were statistically analysed and compared. Cox proportional hazards model was used to evaluate the incidence rates of outcomes after adjustment for covariates. Propensity scores analysis was used to balance the clinical parameters between groups. The primary outcomes were postoperative new-onset urinary tract disease such as urinary tract infection (UTI), UTI with septicaemia and chronic kidney disease (CKD), or calculus of kidney and ureter.ResultsThere were 11?185 patients included in our cohort, among which 703 (6.3%) and 10?482 (93.7%) patients received ICUD and bladder preservation procedure, respectively. Compared with patients who only underwent a bladder preservation procedure, those who had undergone ICUD after cystectomy were independently associated with postoperative de novo urinary tract disease. Propensity score analysis (1:4) was also performed. ICUD contributed to significantly higher new-onset UTI, UTI with sepsis and CKD (HR=1.30, 3.16, 1.35, respectively) compared with bladder preservation procedure after adjustment for age, gender and comorbidities.ConclusionICUD after radical cystectomy was associated with a higher incidence of UTI, UTI with septicaemia and CKD during long-term follow-up than the incidences following a bladder preservation procedure.

Project description:ObjectiveRadical cystectomy with ileal conduit is the current mainstay of treatment for muscle-invasive bladder cancer and is also a high-risk procedure. Existing studies have limited targeted assessment of the efficacy and safety of this procedure, and the patient population appropriate for this procedure is still poorly defined. We sought to longitudinally analyze differences in the efficacy and safety of radical cystectomy with ileal conduit by age subgroups to assess whether the age factor should be used as an exclusion criterion when selecting this procedure.Materials and methodsWe retrospectively examined the clinicopathological data of patients with MIBC treated with RC with IC at the Cancer Hospital of Harbin Medical University between February 2014 and October 2023. Additionally, we utilized clinical and pathological data from the SEER database (2000-2020) for external validation of our findings. Patients were categorized into elderly (≥70 years at diagnosis) and non-elderly (<70 years) groups. Statistical analyses included t-tests, non-parametric tests for continuous data, chi-square tests for categorical data, and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis.ResultsIn this study, 152 patients were included: 119 were categorized as non-elderly and 33 as elderly. For external validation, data from 416 patients in the SEER database were analyzed, with 172 classified as non-elderly and 244 as elderly. The results indicated that elderly patients were more likely to require ICU transfer postoperatively but exhibited a lower incidence of stoma inflammation. Additionally, both the data from our center and the external validation from the SEER database showed a concordance in cancer-specific survival (CSS) between the elderly and non-elderly groups. The efficacy of RC with IC was comparable in both elderly and non-elderly patients.ConclusionFor longitudinal age subgroups, RC with IC for both elderly and non-elderly MIBC had good efficacy and safety, and good quality of life after surgery. Although there are surgical and perioperative risks in elderly patients, there is no significant difference compared with non-elderly patients. In elderly patients requiring RC for bladder cancer, IC should remain the preferred mode of urinary diversion, and old age should not be used as an absolute exclusion criterion for IC.

Project description:Robot-assisted/laparoscopic intracorporeal ileal conduit (ICIC) has been reported in many experienced centers. Whether laparoscopic ICIC is superior to extracorporeal ileal conduit (ECIC) and whether laparoscopic ICIC should be promoted is still controversial. The aim of the study was to compare surgical and early oncological outcomes between patients undergoing laparoscopic radical cystectomy (LRC) with ICIC and ECIC.From January 2011 to June 2016, a total of 45 patients with bladder cancer underwent LRC with ileal conduit at our department, of whom 20 patients underwent LRC with ECIC and 25 patients underwent LRC with ICIC. Data of each patient's characteristics, surgical outcomes, and short-term oncological outcomes were collected and analyzed.LRC with ileal conduit was performed successfully on all 45 patients. There were no significant differences in patients' characteristics, mean total operative time, and mean estimated blood loss between the ICIC and ECIC groups. Median time of flatus and oral intake was shorter in the ICIC group compared with the ECIC group (3 vs. 5 days, P = 0.035; 4 vs. 5 days, P = 0.002). The complications rates did not show significant difference between the two groups within the first 90 days postoperatively (P = 0.538). Cancer staging showed 45% of patients in the ECIC group and 36% in the ICIC group had a pathologic stage of T3 or T4, and 50% of patients in the ECIC group and 44% in the ICIC group had a pathologic stage of N1 or N1+. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed no significant difference in overall survival at 24 months (60% vs. 62%, P = 0.857) between the ECIC and ICIC groups.ICIC after LRC may be successful with the benefits of faster recovery time. No significant difference was found in complications and oncological outcomes between ICIC and ECIC. However, larger series with longer follow-up are needed to validate this procedure.

Project description:BackgroundApproximately 15% of patients undergoing radical cystectomy (RC) develop benign ureteroenteric strictures. Of these strictures, the majority are located in the left ureter. To lower the rate of strictures, a retrosigmoid ileal conduit has been suggested.ObjectiveTo investigate the feasibility and safety of a retrosigmoid ileal conduit during robot-assisted RC in bladder cancer patients.Design setting and participantsThis randomized controlled trial included 303 patients from all five cystectomy centers in Denmark from May 2020 to August 2022. Participants were diagnosed with bladder cancer and scheduled for robot-assisted RC with an ileal conduit.InterventionIntervention group: a retrosigmoid ileal conduit was constructed using approximately 25 cm of the terminal ileum and tunneled behind the sigmoid where the left ureter was anastomosed from end to side. Control group: the conventional ileal conduit ad modum Bricker with individual end-to-side anastomoses.Outcome measurements and statistical analysisPatients were analyzed by the intention-to-treat approach. Complications within 90 d were categorized using the Clavien-Dindo grading system and compared using Fisher's exact test. Wilcoxon's test was used for pre- and postoperative renal function.Results and limitationsOf the 149 patients randomized for the retrosigmoid ileal conduit (MOSAIC), a total of 137 (92%) patients received the allocated conduit. Postoperative complications were distributed equally between the two groups. The relative risk of Clavien-Dindo complications of grade ≥III was 1.12 (95% confidence interval: 0.96-1.31) in the intervention group compared with the control group.ConclusionsThe retrosigmoid ileal conduit with robot-assisted RC was technically feasible. Early postoperative complications were not significantly different when comparing the two groups. Further investigation of long-term complications, including strictures, is needed.Patient summaryWe compared a conventional urinary diversion with a longer conduit to prevent constriction from developing in the ureters. The new conduit is feasible and safe within the first 90 d, with no differences in postoperative complications from those of the conventional diversion.

Project description:BackgroundBladder cancer (BCa) is the most common urinary malignancy. The standard surgical treatment for patients with muscle-invasive BCa is cystectomy plus urinary diversion. Ileal conduit (IC) or orthotopic neobladder (ON), which have different indications, are the most commonly performed urinary diversions.Methods and materialsWe sampled 5480 BCa patients from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database from 2004 to 2015. Kaplan-Meier method with the log-rank test was used to assess cancer-specific survival (CSS) and overall survival (OS). Univariate and multivariate Cox's proportional hazard model was conducted to evaluate the hazard ratio of cancer-specific mortality and all-cause mortality before and after propensity score matching (PSM).ResultsWe identified 5480 patients who received radical cystectomy (RC) plus IC (n = 5071) or ON (n = 409) with a median follow-up period of 33 months (interquartile range, 13-78 months). Patients in the ON group tended to be male and younger, with a higher percentage of married individuals, early pathological T stage, lymphadenectomy, and non-radiotherapy (all P < .05). After 1:1 PSM, 409 matched pairs were selected. Univariate and multivariate analysis showed that the ON group had better CSS and OS probabilities than the IC group in the overall cohort [hazard ratio (HR): 0.692, 95% confidence intervals (CI): 0.576-0.831, P < .001; HR: 0.677, 95% CI: 0.579-0.793, P < .001 respectively]. However, subgroup analysis revealed that only patients with pathological T2 stage benefited from ON diversion after PSM in the context of CSS (P = .016) and OS (P <.001).ConclusionsYoung, married, and male patients with early pathological T stage, especially T2 stage, were more suitable to receive RC plus ON surgery, which could improve their probability of survival.

Project description:PurposeTo report perioperative and long-term postoperative outcomes of cystectomy patients with ileal conduit (IC) urinary diversion undergoing parastomal hernia (PSH) repair.MethodWe reviewed patients who underwent cystectomy and IC diversion between 2003 and 2022 in our center. Baseline variables, including surgical approach of PSH repair and repair technique, were captured. Multivariable Cox regressionanalysis was performed to test for the associations between different variables and PSH recurrence.ResultsThirty-six patients with a median (IQR) age of 79 (73-82) years were included. The median time between cystectomy and PSH repair was 30 (14-49) months. Most PSH repairs (32/36, 89%) were performed electively, while 4 were due to small bowel obstruction. Hernia repairs were performed through open (n=25), robotic (10), and laparoscopic approaches (1). Surgical techniques included direct repair with mesh (20), direct repair without mesh (4), stoma relocation with mesh (5), and stomarelocation without mesh (7). The 90-day complication rate was 28%. In a median follow-up of 24 (7-47) months, 17 patients (47%) had a recurrence. The median time to recurrence was 9 (7-24) months. On multivariable analysis, 90-day complication following PSH repair was associated with an increased risk of recurrence.ConclusionsIn this report of one of the largest series of PSH repair in the Urology literature, 47% of patients had a recurrence following hernia repair with a median follow-up time of 2 years. There was no significant difference in recurrence rates when comparing repair technique or the use of open or minimally invasive approaches.

Project description:PurposeWith the increasing application of laparoscopic or robot-assisted radical cystectomy, a reliable and promising method is needed for reducing postoperative complications. We describe the short-term outcomes of totally extraperitoneal laparoscopic radical cystectomy (TELRC) with extraperitoneal pelvic lymph node dissection (EPLND) and extraperitoneal ileal orthotopic neobladder (EION) techniques.Materials and methodsFrom January 2020 to December 2021, we performed TELRC and EPLND with EION in 72 patients in our center. The accompanying video highlights our novel techniques. The patients' demographic data, intraoperative data, and perioperative complications were collected, and short-term oncological and functional results are reported.ResultsAll procedures were technically successful without conversion to open surgery. The patients' mean body mass index was 26.22±5.71. Median age was 57.51±12.34 years. Average hospital stay was 13.78±4.62 days. Median intraoperative blood loss was 112.92±88.56 mL. No blood transfusion was needed during the operations and only one blood transfusion was performed during the perioperative period. Mean operating time was 259.44±49.84 minutes. Average cost was US$9,875.71±1,873.08. Postoperative short-term complications included short-term ileus (n=3), infection (n=13), leakage of urine (n=11), and lymph fistula (n=7). One late complication of unilateral vesicoureteral anastomotic stenosis occurred. The mean follow-up was 13.42±8.77 months, and no patient developed local or systemic recurrence. The short-term follow-up and small cohort of patients limited our evaluation of outcomes.ConclusionsTELRC with PLND and EION was technically feasible and clinically promising, with a reduced potential harm of postoperative complications. Long-term follow-up and a larger cohort of patients are needed for further study.

Project description:BackgroundParastomal hernia after ileal conduit urinary diversion is an underestimated and undertreated clinical entity, which heavily impairs patients' quality of life due to symptoms of pain, leakage, application or skin problems. As for all gastrointestinal stomata the best surgical repair technique has yet to be determined. Thereby, surgery for ileal conduit parastomal hernias poses some specific perioperative challenges. This review aims to give an overview of current evidence on the surgical treatment of parastomal hernia after cystectomy and ileal conduit urinary diversion, and on the use of prophylactic mesh at index surgery in its prevention.MethodsA systematic review was performed according to PRISMA-guidelines. The electronic databases Embase, PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science were searched. Studies were included if they presented postoperative outcomes of patients undergoing surgical treatment of parastomal hernia at the ileal conduit site, irrespective of the technique used. A search was performed to identify additional studies on prophylactic mesh in the prevention of ileal conduit parastomal hernia, that were not identified by the initial search.ResultsEight retrospective case-series were included for analysis, reporting different surgical techniques. If reported, highest complication rate was 45%. Recurrence rates varied highly, ranging from 0 to 80%. Notably, lower recurrence rates were reported in studies with shorter follow-up. Overall, available data suggest significant morbidity after the surgical treatment of ileal conduit parastomal hernias. Data from five conference abstracts on the matter were retrieved, and systematically reported. Regarding prophylactic mesh in the prevention of ileal conduit parastomal hernia, 5 communications were identified. All of them used keyhole mesh in a retromuscular position, and reported on favorable results in the mesh group without an increase in mesh-related complications.ConclusionData on the surgical treatment of ileal conduit parastomal hernias and the use of prophylactic mesh in its prevention is scarce. Given the specific perioperative challenges and the paucity of reported results, more high-quality evidence is needed to determine the optimal treatment of this specific surgical problem. Initial results on the use of prophylactic mesh in the prevention of ileal conduit parastomal hernias seem promising.
