ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical effects of different urinary diversion regimens after minimally invasive resection of bladder cancer. Methods 127 patients with muscular infiltrating bladder cancer from January 2010 to June 2015 were enrolled in this study. According to the patients' condition, they were divided into orthotopic ileal cystectomy group (58 cases), Bricker bladder surgery group (33 cases), ureteral skin ostomy group (36 cases), then compare the clinical data, postoperative complications and quality of life of the three groups. Results There was no significant difference in the ratio of sex, the distribution of age and tumor staging among the three groups. The operation time and postoperative hospital stay in orthotopic ileal cystectomy group were longer than those in the other two groups. The operation time and postoperative hospital stay of the Bricker bladder surgery group were longer than that in ureteral skin ostomy group, the difference was statistically significant; the bleeding in orthotopic ileal cystectomy group was more than the other two groups, and in Bricker bladder surgery group was more than ureteral skin ostomy group, the difference was statistically significant. There was no significant difference in the recovery time of intestinal function among the three groups. The recovery time of intestinal function in ureteral skin ostomy group was shorter than that in the other two groups, the difference was statistically significant. There was no significant difference in the incidence of short-term complications of the three groups of patients. The incidence of long-term complications of orthotopic ileal cystectomy group was significantly higher than the other two groups, the difference was statistically significant. The social function scores, and overall health score of orthotopic ileal cystectomy group were higher than the other two groups, the difference was statistically significance. Conclusion Without external device, closer to the characteristics of physiological urination, orthotopic ileal cystectomy holds higher postoperative quality of life, and higher incidence of long-term complications. With advantages of quick recovery and less complications, ureteral skin ostomy is best for patients who can not stand for long time surgery. It should choose the appropriate surgical approach for patients according to individuals' conditions.
