ABSTRACT

Objective To improve the quality of life of the female patient after radical cystectomy. Methods Modified radical cystectomy and detenia cecocolon neobladder were performed in 4 female patients with bladder cancer.Three patients underwent radical cystectomy with preservation of the anterior wall of vagina.One patient underwent radical cystectomy with resection of the anterior wall of vagina. Results The patients were followed-up for 6 to 30 months.All 4 women achieved acceptable daytime continence,and 3 out of 4 achieved nocturnal continence.The vesical capacity ranged from 305 to 438 ml and intravesical pressure at maximum capacity ranged from 18 to 45 cmH 2O(1 cmH 2O=0.098 kPa);only 1 had nocturnal incontinence.The urinary dynamic examination showed the maximum urinary flow rate varied from 15.1 to 22.6 ml/s and residual urine volume ranged from 0 to 30 ml.The cystography showed there was no ureteral stenosis or reflux in the 4 patients.Their renal function and metabolism of electrolytes were normal. Conclusions Detenia cecocolon neobladder after modified radical cystectomy in selected women can obtain satisfactory continence and voiding results.
