Research progress on prevention and intervention of incision-related complications after orthotopic neobladder surgery for bladder cancer / 中国肿瘤临床

ABSTRACT

The incidence of bladder cancer is increasing in China. Each year, nearly one third of newly diagnosed cases are muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). The standard treatment for patients with MIBC is radical cystectomy (RC) with pelvic lymphadenectomy. Orthotopic neobladder (ONB) surgery is the primary method of urinary diversion after RC. However, ONB surgery is associated with many post-operative complications related to the urinary tract, intestine, and incision site. Here, we review the mechanism, prevention, and treatment measures of incision complications after ONB surgery.
