HRQOL related to urinary diversion in Radical Cystectomy: a systematic review of recent literature

ABSTRACT Introduction: The health-related QoL is a patient-centered evaluation covering several aspects. This evaluation seems to be particularly important in patients submitted to radical cystectomy (RC) and urinary diversion with ileal conduit (IC) or a neobladder (NB). Objective: Review all recent data comparing QoL outcomes after radical cystectomy with NB and IC diversions. Evidence Acquisition: A systematic search in PubMed/Medline, Embase, and Cochrane databases was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) statement in December 2018. All articles published from January 01, 2012 to December 31, 2018, were included. A study was considered relevant if it compared QoL outcomes using validated questionnaires (EORTC QLQ C30, FACT-G, FACT-BL, FACT-VCI, and BCI). Evidence Synthesis: In 11 included studies, a total of 1389 participants were accounted (730 NB and 659 IC cases). The studies were conducted in 8 different countries, two were prospective, and none was randomized. There were two studies favoring results with a neobladder, 3 with incontinent diversion and 6 with no differences. The EORTC-QLQ-C30 was the most used instrument (5 studies) followed by FACT VCI and BCI (3 studies each). Given the heterogeneity of data and lack of prospective studies, a meta-analysis was not performed. Conclusion: No superiority of one urinary diversion was characterized. It seems that the choice must be individualized with an extensive preoperative orientation of the patient and their relatives. That will probably influence how the patient accepts the new condition.

Reservatório colônico e mitrofanoff gástrico com método alternativo de desderivaçäo urinária / Colonic reservoir and grastric mitrofanoff as an alternative method of urinary undiversion

Pacientes submetidos a radioterapia pélvica poderäo necessitar de derivaçöes urinárias, seja por recidiva local, estenose ureteral ou cistite actínica grave. A maioria das técnicas descritas para a confecçäo de reservatórios continentes exigem o emprego de segmentos íleocolônicos que sofrem igualmente os efeitos deletérios da irradiaçäo. Nesta situaçäo, o estômago tem sido nova opçäo primária. Os autores relatam dois casos em que houve falha no uso de tecido gástrico na reconstruçäo urinária pós-radioterapia, discutem uma proposta alternativa para resoluçäo desta situaçäo, aspectos técnicos envolvidos e os resultados iniciais

Reservorios urinarios continentes: evaluación radiológica / Continent urinary reservoirs: radiologic evaluation

En 47 pacientes a quienes se les efectuó un reservorio urinario continente, revisamos los estudios radiológicos realizados como control de su intervención quirúrgica. El radiólogo debe estar familiarizado con estas nuevas técnicas para efectuar una correcta evaluación posterior de ellas
