Impact of Intraoperative Fluid Balance and Norepinephrine on Postoperative Acute Kidney Injury after Cystectomy and Urinary Diversion over Two Decades: A Retrospective Observational Cohort Study. J Clin Med 2023; 12:4554. [PMID: 37445588 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12134554] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2023] [Revised: 07/04/2023] [Accepted: 07/05/2023] [Indexed: 07/15/2023] Open
Abstract
The use of norepinephrine and the restriction of intraoperative hydration have gained increasing acceptance over the last few decades. Recently, there have been concerns regarding the impact of this approach on renal function. The objective of this study was to examine the influence of norepinephrine, intraoperative fluid administration and their interaction on acute kidney injury (AKI) after cystectomy. In our cohort of 1488 consecutive patients scheduled for cystectomies and urinary diversions, the overall incidence of AKI was 21.6% (95%-CI: 19.6% to 23.8%) and increased by an average of 0.6% (95%-CI: 0.1% to 1.1%, p = 0.025) per year since 2000. The fluid and vasopressor regimes were characterized by an annual decrease in fluid balance (-0.24 mL·kg-1·h-1, 95%-CI: -0.26 to -0.22, p < 0.001) and an annual increase in the amount of norepinephrine of 0.002 µg·kg-1·min-1 (95%-CI: 0.0016 to 0.0024, p < 0.001). The interaction between the fluid balance and norepinephrine levels resulted in a U-shaped association with the risk of AKI; however, the magnitude and shape depended on the reference categories of confounders (age and BMI). We conclude that decreased intraoperative fluid balance combined with increased norepinephrine administration was associated with an increased risk of AKI. However, other potential drivers of the observed increase in AKI incidence need to be further investigated in the future.

J Clin Med 2023; 12:jcm12113657. [PMID: 37297852 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12113657] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/10/2023] [Revised: 05/15/2023] [Accepted: 05/23/2023] [Indexed: 06/12/2023] Open
Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of opioid-free anesthesia (OFA) in open radical cystectomy (ORC) with urinary diversion and to assess the impact on recovery of gastrointestinal function. We hypothesized that OFA would lead to earlier recovery of bowel function. A total of 44 patients who underwent standardized ORC were divided into two groups (OFA group vs. control group). In both groups, patients received epidural analgesia (OFA group: bupivacaine 0.25%, control group: bupivacaine 0.1%, fentanyl 2 mcg/mL, and epinephrine 2 mcg/mL). The primary endpoint was time to first defecation. Secondary endpoints were incidence of postoperative ileus (POI) and incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). The median time to first defecation was 62.5 h [45.8-80.8] in the OFA group and 118.5 h [82.6-142.3] (p < 0.001) in the control group. With regard to POI (OFA group: 1/22 patients (4.5%); control group: 2/22 (9.1%)) and PONV (OFA group: 5/22 patients (22.7%); control group: 10/22 (45.5%)), trends but no significant results were found (p = 0.99 and p = 0.203, respectively). OFA appears to be feasible in ORC and to improve postoperative functional gastrointestinal recovery by halving the time to first defecation compared with standard fentanyl-based intraoperative anesthesia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine whether early acute kidney injury affects mid-term renal function, to identify risk factors for impaired mid-term renal function, and to highlight the evolution of plasma creatinine and estimated glomerular filtration rate in the first 12 months after cystectomy and urinary diversion. METHODS We conducted a single-center retrospective observational cohort study from 2000 to 2019. We included 900 consecutive patients undergoing cystectomy and urinary diversion. Patients with incomplete data and preoperative hemodialysis were excluded. Early acute kidney injury was defined as an increase in plasma creatinine of >50% or >26.5 μmol/L within 24 h after surgery. Multiple linear regression analysis was performed to model the association between risk factors and change in plasma creatinine and estimated glomerular filtration rate at 12 months. RESULTS Early acute kidney injury was diagnosed in 183/900 patients (20.3%) and was associated with significant mid-term plasma creatinine increase compared to preoperative value (+10.0 μmol/L [95% confidence interval -1.5, 25.0] vs +4.0 μmol/L [-7.0, 13.0]; P < 0.001). Similarly, a significant estimated glomerular filtration rate change was found (-11.2 mL/min [95% confidence interval -19.8, 0.6] vs -4.9 mL/min [-15.6, 5.3]; P < 0.001). In the linear regression model, early acute kidney injury increased creatinine at 12 months by 9.8% (estimated glomerular filtration rate: decrease by 6.2 mL/min), male sex by 12.0%. Limitations include retrospective analysis from prospectively assessed data. CONCLUSIONS Early acute kidney injury resulted in elevated plasma creatinine and decreased estimated glomerular filtration rate values 12 months postoperatively, albeit the clinical relevance remains questionable.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess if uninterrupted anticoagulant agents' administration affects blood loss and blood transfusion during open radical cystectomy (RC) and urinary diversion. PATIENTS AND METHODS We conducted an observational single-centre cohort study of a consecutive series of 1430 RC patients, between 2000 and 2020. Blood loss was depicted according to body weight and duration of surgery (mL/kg/h), and blood transfusion. The group 'with anticoagulant agents' was considered if surgery was performed with uninterrupted low-dose aspirin (ASS), oral anticoagulants (OAC) with an international normalised ratio (INR) goal of 2-2.5 or bridging with therapeutic low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH). Outcomes were intraoperative blood loss, blood transfusion rate (separately analysed if administered within 24 h perioperatively or >24 h after surgery) and the 90-day major adverse cardiac events (MACE) rate. We used propensity score (PS)-matching analysis to adjust for imbalances between groups with or without anticoagulant agents. RESULTS The PS-matched median (interquartile range [IQR]) blood loss was 2.10 (1.50-2.94) mL/kg/h in patients with anticoagulant agents vs 2.11 (1.47-2.94) mL/kg/h without anticoagulant agents (Padj > 0.99). The PS-matched blood transfusion rates were 26.2% vs 35.1% (Padj = 0.875) within 24 h perioperatively and 57.0% vs 55.0% (Padj = 0.680) if administered >24 h postoperatively. A sub-analysis of the three different anticoagulant agents could not detect any significance between ASS, OAC, or LMWH. The PS-matched incidence of MACE was 9.1% in the group with anticoagulant agents and 8.1% in those without anticoagulant agents (Padj > 0.99). Limitations include selection bias and retrospective analysis from prospectively assessed data. CONCLUSIONS Perioperative continuation of ASS, uninterrupted OAC with low INR goal or bridging with LMWH had no impact on blood loss and transfusion rate in RC patients. Therefore, there might be no compulsory need for discontinuation of anticoagulant agents.

Evaluation of Upper Urinary Tract Integrity After Radical Cystectomy and Orthotopic Diversion with Ileal and Sigmoid Neobladder. Indian J Surg Oncol 2021; 12:477-483. [PMID: 34658574 DOI: 10.1007/s13193-021-01350-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/13/2020] [Accepted: 05/12/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022] Open
Abstract
The study aims to evaluate the effects of orthotopic urinary diversion using ileal and sigmoid segments after radical cystectomy on upper urinary tract function and morphology. A retrospective study included 60 patients divided into 2 equal groups (W-ileal pouch group and sigmoid pouch group). We assessed renal function and morphology post-operative after 6 months and after 1 year by serum creatinine, ultrasound, IVP, pouchogram, and renal scan study. After 6 months post-operatively, in the W-ileal group, there were 16 renal units (26.6%) deteriorated in morphology and 11 renal units (18.4%) deteriorated in function. After 1 year, further deterioration in morphology was noted in 17 renal units (28.3%) and in function in 16 renal units (26.7%). In the sigmoid group, after 6 months post-operatively, there were 14 renal units (23.3%) deteriorated in morphology and 14 renal units (23.4%) deteriorated in function. After 1 year, further deterioration in morphology was noted in 47 renal units (24.4%) and in function in 18 renal units (30%). Incorporating the bowel into the urinary tract is potentially dangerous to the upper urinary tract's integrity, and the leading cause of renal impairment is uretero-pouch obstruction.

Predictors for Perioperative Blood Transfusion in Patients Undergoing Open Cystectomy and Urinary Diversion and Development of a Nomogram: An Observational Cohort Study. J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10132797.

Abstract
Open radical cystectomy is associated with a substantial rate of perioperative blood transfusion. Early detection of potentially modifiable perioperative factors could reduce the need for perioperative blood transfusion and thus positively impact the outcome. We conducted an observational, single-center cohort study of 1168 patients undergoing cystectomy. Perioperative blood transfusion was defined as the need for packed red blood cells and/or fresh frozen plasma units within the first 24 h after the initiation of surgery. Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to model the association between risk factors and blood transfusion, and a nomogram was developed. Blood transfusion occurred in 370/1168 patients (31.7%). Significant predictors were age (OR: 1.678, (95% CI: 1.379–2.042); p < 0.001), blood loss ratio (6.572, (4.878–8.853); p < 0.001), preoperative hemoglobin (0.316, (0.255–0.391); p < 0.001), tumor stage (2.067, (1.317–3.244); p = 0.002), use of oral anticoagulants (2.70, (1.163–6.270), p = 0.021), and interaction between female sex and blood loss ratio (1.344, (1.011–1.787); p = 0.042). Of the major predictors found to affect perioperative blood transfusion, two can be influenced: blood loss ratio by meticulous surgery and hemoglobin by preoperative optimization. Others such as age or advanced disease are not modifiable. This emphasizes the importance of optimal management of patients prior to surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare the occurrence of emptying dysfunction between surgical techniques for orthotopic neobladder suspended with round ligament (rONB) and the standard procedure (sONB). PATIENTS AND METHODS A prospective randomised controlled trial was performed in a single centre of female patients undergoing creation of an ONB using rONB or sONB. Patients were followed for ≥24 months after ONB. The primary endpoints were significant post-void residual urine volume (sPVR) and need for clean intermittent catheterisation (CIC) at 24 months postoperatively. The secondary endpoints included early and late complications, urodynamic profile, and ONB continence. RESULTS Between January 2011 and October 2017, the trial enrolled 85 patients, of whom 82 were randomised. A total of 41 patients had a rONB and 41 a sONB. At 24 months, 17 of the 37 patients with a sONB and nine of the 39 patients with a rONB had a sPVR. The cumulative risk of a sPVR was significantly lower in the rONB group (23.1%) vs the sONB group (45.9%) (hazard ratio [HR] 0.43, 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.19-0.96; P = 0.040). In all, 15 of the 37 patients with a sONB and four of the 39 patients with a rONB needed CIC. The cumulative risk of requiring CIC was significantly lower in the rONB group (10.3%) vs the sONB group (40.5%) (HR 0.22, 95% CI 0.07-0.67; P = 0.008) at 24 months. Multivariable Cox regression analysis also showed that the rONB type was an independently protective factor for sPVR and CIC. The rates of early (0-90 days) and late complication (>90 days) were 54.1% and 13.5% in the sONB group, and 64.1% and 10.3% in the rONB group, respectively. There were no significant differences in complications, urodynamic profile or ONB continence. A major limitation is the small sample size at a single centre. CONCLUSION Posterior support with round ligament for an ONB significantly improved the emptying of the ONB and resulted in a reduced need for CIC. The surgical modification is a feasible and safe technique without additional complication-related surgeries.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To provide a chronological overview of the evolution of continent urinary diversion (CUD) over the last 50 years and to highlight important milestones. METHODS We performed an extensive literature review and analysed different forms of urinary diversion worldwide. After the evaluation of surgical techniques, we assessed the advantages and disadvantages of assorted CUD approaches based on published long-term follow-up data. RESULTS A wide variety of surgical options for CUD is available and feasible to date, although consensus among urologists regarding the 'gold standard' is still lacking. Several forms of orthotopic bladder substitutes and continent cutaneous urinary reservoirs have been shown to provide excellent long-term results. CONCLUSION The last 50 years of CUD have seen constant evolution and refinement of techniques, but the best surgical approach remains unclear and there is no 'one-size-fits-all' option, but rather tailor-made approaches are necessary to ensure patient satisfaction.

Abstract
Pelvic exenterative surgery is both complex and challenging, especially in the setting of locally recurrent disease. In recent decades, improved surgical techniques have facilitated more extensive resection of both locally advanced and recurrent pelvic malignancies, but its role in urological cancer surgery is highly selective. However, it remains an important part of the armamentarium for the management of bladder and prostate cancer cases where there is local invasion into adjacent organs or localized recurrence. Better diagnostics, reconstructive options and centralized care have reduced associated morbidity considerably, and it is still used rarely in palliative settings. Despite this, there is sparse prospective evidence reporting on long-term oncological or quality of life outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The crossfolded ileal reservoir combined with an afferent tubular isoperistaltic segment for heterotopic continent urinary diversion has been performed on a regular basis for over 20 years. Yet data on long-term-outcomes remain sparse. OBJECTIVE To report long-term functional and oncological outcomes, gastrointestinal and metabolic disturbances, urinary tract infections (UTIs), and quality of life. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Long-term functional and oncological outcomes of a consecutive series of 118 patients undergoing cystectomy and construction of a continent cutaneous crossfolded ileal reservoir from 2000 to 2018 were evaluated. INTERVENTION Patients underwent cystectomy and construction of a continent cutaneous crossfolded ileal reservoir according to the Studer technique for bladder reconstruction. OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS Pre- and postoperative data until last follow-up appointment were entered prospectively in the departmental database. Self-reported questionnaires regarding quality of life, patient satisfaction, and difficulty in catheterisation were sent to patients preoperatively; after 3, 6, 12, and 24 mo; and at last follow-up, and were then manually entered in the departmental database. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS The median follow-up was 7.8 (interquartile range 3-12.7) yr. Patient satisfaction was high in 77.4% and moderate in 16.9%. Serum creatinine and estimated glomerular filtration rate remained stable during follow-up. Of all patients, 81% (96/118) had at least one UTI during follow-up. Recurrent UTIs occurred in 67% (79/118) of patients. Urolithiasis was found in 12% (14/118), with 6% (7/118) having a single and 6% a recurrent event. Of all stone formers, 79% (11/14) had recurrent UTIs. In oncological patients, 12.5% (10/79) developed a local recurrence. Cancer-specific survival and overall survival were 90% and 88%, and 68% and 56% after 1 and 10 yr, respectively. A limitations is the retrospective analysis from prospectively assessed data. CONCLUSIONS A high satisfaction level, stability of kidney function, and low rates of urolithiasis in patients with a heterotopic continent ileal reservoir can be achieved, provided that close attention is paid to intra- and postoperative details. Regular lifelong follow-up is essential for timely detection and treatment of complications. Oncological outcome is not affected by the urinary diversion. PATIENT SUMMARY In patients with a continent cutaneous ileal reservoir, good quality of life and a high satisfaction rate are possible provided that patients adhere to regular lifelong follow-up.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The impact of anaesthetic techniques on recurrence of cancers is controversial. Elevated plasma catecholamine levels have been implicated in angiogenesis and metastasis in various cancers. OBJECTIVES To assess the potential association between continuous intra-operative norepinephrine administration and tumour-related outcome in muscle-invasive bladder cancer patients undergoing radical cystectomy with urinary diversion. DESIGN Retrospective observational cohort study. SETTING Single tertiary centre, from 2000 to 2017. PATIENTS We included a consecutive series of 1120 urothelial carcinoma patients undergoing radical cystectomy and urinary diversion, including 411/1120 patients (37%) who received a continuous intra-operative administration of more than 2 μg kg BW h norepinephrine. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The primary outcome was time to tumour recurrence within 5 years after surgery, with death as competing outcome. We used inverse probability of treatment weighting to adjust for imbalances between treatment groups, one having received more than 2 μg kg BW h norepinephrine and the other having received less. We furthermore adjusted for intra-operative variables or years of surgery as sensitivity analyses. RESULTS The continuous administration of more than 2 μg kg BW h norepinephrine slightly increased tumour recurrence (hazard ratio: 1.47, 95% CI 0.98 to 2.21; P = 0.061). After adjustment for intra-operative variables, and year of surgery hazard ratios were 1.82 (95% CI 1.13 to 2.91, P = 0.013) and 1.85 (95% CI 1.12 to 3.07, P = 0.017), respectively. Overall mortality (with or without tumour recurrence) was not affected by norepinephrine (hazard ratio: 0.84, 95% CI 0.65 to 1.08, P = 0.170). CONCLUSION Continuous administration of more than 2 μg kg BW h norepinephrine was associated with a slightly increased hazard ratio for tumour recurrence if adjusted for intra-operative variables and year of surgery. This observation could reflect a low potential pro-oncogenic effect of norepinephrine during the intra-operative period. TRIAL REGISTRATION Not applicable.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of noradrenaline to enable a restrictive approach to intra-operative fluid therapy to avoid salt and water overload has gained increasing acceptance. However, concerns have been raised about the impact of this approach on renal function. OBJECTIVES To identify risk factors for acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients undergoing cystectomy with urinary diversion and determine whether administration of noradrenaline and intra-operative hydration regimens affect early postoperative renal function. DESIGN Retrospective observational cohort study. SETTING University hospital, from 2007 to 2016. PATIENTS A total of 769 consecutive patients scheduled for cystectomy and urinary diversion. Those with incomplete data and having pre-operative haemodialysis were excluded. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES AKI was defined as a serum creatinine increase of more than 50% over 72 postoperative hours. Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to model the association between risk factors and AKI. RESULTS Postoperative AKI was diagnosed in 86/769 patients (11.1%). Independent predictors for AKI were the amount of crystalloid administered (odds ratio (OR) 0.79 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.68 to 0.91], P = 0.002), antihypertensive medication (OR 2.07 [95% CI, 1.25 to 3.43], P = 0.005), pre-operative haemoglobin value (OR 1.02 [95% CI, 1.01 to 1.03], P = 0.010), duration of surgery (OR 1.01 [95% CI, 1.00 to 1.01], P = 0.002), age (OR 1.32 [95% CI, 1.44 to 1.79], P = 0.002) but not the administration of noradrenaline (OR 1.09 [95% CI, 0.94 to 1.21], P = 0.097). Postoperative AKI was associated with longer hospital stay (18 [15 to 22] vs. 16 [15 to 19] days; P = 0.035) and a higher 90-day major postoperative complication rate (41.9 vs. 27.5%; P = 0.002). CONCLUSION Noradrenaline administration did not increase the risk for AKI. A too restrictive approach to administration of crystalloids was associated with an increased risk for AKI, particularly in older patients, those receiving antihypertensive medication, and those whose surgery was prolonged. As AKI was associated with longer hospital stay and increased postoperative morbidity, these observations should be taken into account to improve outcome when addressing peri-operative fluid management.

The Comprehensive Complication Index CCI: A proposed modification to optimize short-term complication reporting after cystectomy and urinary diversion. Urol Oncol 2019; 37:291.e9-291.e18. [PMID: 30638668 DOI: 10.1016/j.urolonc.2018.12.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2018] [Revised: 11/05/2018] [Accepted: 12/16/2018] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To optimize complication reporting in patients undergoing cystectomy and urinary diversion (UD) using the Comprehensive Complication Index (CCI). The original CCI ranging from 0 (no complications) to 100 (death) integrates all complications weighted by severity over time in a single formula. However, due to the large number of complications after cystectomy and UD, the CCI may exceed the upper limit. METHODS In an observational single-center cohort, 90-day postoperative complications in 1,313 consecutive patients undergoing cystectomy and UD from 2000 to 2017 were evaluated. Prospectively collected complications were graded according to the Clavien-Dindo classification (CDC). A modified Berne CCI was developed using an exponential function, which transforms the sum of the weights into a value between 0 and 100. The correlation between the Berne and original CCI values was depicted graphically. Finally, original CCI and Berne CCI values for each patient were extracted and compared. Predictive values of CCI scores for mortality or severe complications (CDC ≥IV) within 1 year postoperatively were investigated by use of multiple logistic regression analyses. RESULTS Overall complication rate was 82%, with CDC grade I to II in 56% and CDC grade IIIa to V in 27% respectively. Applying the original CCI, the upper limit was exceeded in 8 patients, with a maximal value of 119.1 (median 25.7 [interquartile range: 20.9-37.2]). The maximal value of the Berne CCI was 99.4 (21.2 [14.6-39.3]) for nondeath cases. The Berne CCI predicted the onset of death and severe complications between postoperative day 91 and 365 (both P <0.0001), whereas the original CCI was only predictive in interaction with other variables but not alone (P = 0.2772 and P = 0.0862, respectively). CONCLUSION The optimized Berne CCI depicts postoperative morbidity and burden within 90 days after cystectomy and UD without exceeding the upper index limit. It is specifically suited for longitudinal assessment of complications after cystectomy and UD taking into consideration every single complication and corresponding treatment. As the Berne CCI well predicted the onset of mortality and severe complications within 1 year postoperatively, this may allow a better preoperative patient counselling. It therefore warrants consideration for standardized reporting of complications after cystectomy and UD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The relationship between blood transfusion and cancer-related outcome and mortality is controversial. OBJECTIVE To assess if perioperative administration of packed red blood cell (PRBC) and fresh frozen plasma (FFP) units affects disease progression and survival after radical cystectomy for bladder cancer. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS We conducted an observational single-centre cohort study of a consecutive series of 885 bladder cancer patients, between 2000 and 2015. Perioperative blood transfusion was defined as need for PRBCs and FFP transfusion within the first 24h after the beginning of surgery. OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS Disease recurrence-free, cancer-specific, and overall survival were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier technique and log-rank test. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS A total of 267/885 patients (23%) were transfused; 187/267 patients (70%) received only PRBCs (median 2 units [interquartile range: 1-2]) and 80/267 patients (30%) received PRBCs (2 [2-3]) plus FFP (2 [2-2]). Receipt of PRBCs or PRBCs+FFP was associated with a higher 90 d mortality (7.0% vs 7.5% vs 2.9%; p=0.016), inferior 5 yr recurrence-free survival (no transfusion 92%, PRBCs 74%, p=0.005; PRBCs+FFP 49%, p=0.002), 5 yr cancer-specific survival (no transfusion 74%, PRBCs 60%, PRBCs+FFP 49%, all p<0.001), and 5 yr overall survival (no transfusion 90%, PRBCs 70%, PRBCs+FFP 34%, all p<0.001). In multivariate analysis, blood transfusion was predictive for all-cause mortality (PRBCs [hazard ratio; HR 1.610; p<0.001] and PRBCs+FFP [HR 1.640; p=0.003]) and cancer-specific mortality (PRBCs [HR 1.467; p=0.010] and PRBCs+FFP [HR 1.901; p=0.021]). Limitations include selection bias and lack of standardised transfusion criteria. CONCLUSIONS Administration of PRBCs and FFP was associated with significantly inferior cancer-specific and overall survival. Relevant preoperative factors for receiving blood transfusion were neoadjuvant chemotherapy, preoperative anaemia, older age, and American Society of Anesthesiologists score ≥3, and these factors emphasise the importance of preoperative optimisation of patients undergoing cystectomy. PATIENT SUMMARY Blood transfusion during radical cystectomy was associated with inferior survival.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Urine leakage is a common complication in patients with bladder cancer after radical cystectomy and neobladder reconstruction. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical value of the use of urostomy bags in the management of urine leakage in patients with bladder cancer after radical cystectomy. METHODS Urine leakage during the perioperative period was retrospectively analyzed in 483 patients with bladder cancer who underwent radical cystectomy from 2004 to 2010. Before 2008, all patients with urine leakages were treated by routine dressing changes (group A). After 2008, the leakages were managed with urostomy bags (group B). The perioperative quality of life (EQ-5D) and cost for urine leakage for both groups were compared in this controlled study. RESULTS The average cost in management of preoperative urine leakage was significantly higher in group A than in group B as well as the patients with extravasations of urine or lymphoceles. Patients in group B had an overall better perioperative life quality compared with group A. In particular, the score for pain/discomfort was significantly higher in group A than in group B. CONCLUSIONS The management of perioperative urine leakage with urostomy bags avoided constant body wetness and significantly increased the quality of life and reduced the special costs of urine leakage in patients with bladder cancer after cystectomy. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE Early use of urostomy bag is a good choice for perioperative urine leakage in patients with bladder cancer after radical cystectomy and neobladder reconstruction.

Abstract
In patients with a neurogenic bladder, the primary goal is preservation of renal function and prevention of urinary tract infection, with urinary continence as the secondary goal. After failure of conservative treatment (clean intermittent catheterisation and pharmacotherapy) urinary diversion should be considered. In this review, the surgical options with their advantages and disadvantages are discussed. In patients with a hyper-reflexive, small-capacity and/or low-compliance bladder with normal upper urinary tract, bladder augmentation (bowel segments/ureter) is an option. To those who are unable to perform clean intermittent catheterisation via urethra, a continent cutaneous stoma can be offered. In patients with irreparable sphincter defects a continent cutaneous diversion is an option. For patients who are not suitable for a continent diversion (incompliant±chronic renal failure), a colonic conduit for incontinent diversion is preferred. Surgical complications specific to urinary diversion include: ureterointestinal stenosis, stomal stenosis, stone formation, bladder perforation, and shunt infection and obstruction. Surgical revision is required in around one third of patients. Careful lifelong follow-up of these patients is necessary, as some of these complications can occur late.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare the clinical outcomes of sigmoid and ileal neobladders (NBs) created following radical cystectomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study included 90 and 144 Japanese patients undergoing radical cystectomy and orthotopic NB reconstruction with a sigmoid and ileal segment, respectively. Postoperative clinical outcomes between the sigmoid and ileal NB groups (SNBG and INBG) were compared. RESULTS In this series, 110 early and 51 late complications occurred in 71 and 41 patients, respectively; however, there was no significant difference in the incidence of complications between SNBG and INBG. At 1 year postoperatively, there were no significant differences in the proportion of spontaneous voiders and the continence status between these 2 groups; however, despite the lack of significant differences in the maximal flow rate and voided volume, the post-void residual in SNBG was significantly smaller than that in INBG. Voiding functional outcomes at 5 years postoperatively were also obtained from 28 and 49 in SNBG and INBG, respectively. Although there were no significant changes in the functional outcomes in SNBG, the proportion of spontaneous voiders and post-void residual in INBG at 5 years postoperatively were significantly poorer than those at 1 year postoperatively. Furthermore, the postoperative health-related quality of life assessed by a Short-Form 36 survey did not show any significant differences in all 8 scores between these 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS Both types of NB reconstruction resulted in comparatively satisfactory outcomes; however, the voiding function, particularly that on long-term follow-up, in SNBG appeared to be more favorable than that in INBG.

Modified technique for the creation of an orthotopic neobladder in patients with shortened mesentery: making up the difference between the bladder and the urethral stump. Urology 2011; 78:1430-4.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe an ileal neobladder reconstruction technique performed in 5 men who had previous abdominal surgeries and presented with a short mesoileum at the time of bladder replacement. METHODS The patients were 5 men scheduled for a radical cystoprostatectomy with bladder substitution and had a short mesoileum at the time of the surgery. All patients had a history of abdominal surgery. A neobladder was constructed in a "J" shape leaving the most proximal part of the ileum (8-10 cm) tubularized. We created a 3- to 4-cm flap from the surface of the most distal region of the reservoir. This flap was tubularized to lengthen the neobladder onto the urethral stump, resulting in a tension-free anastomosis. All patients underwent a complete clinical laboratory evaluation 12 months after the surgery. RESULTS At 1 year after surgery, all patients were able to void spontaneously. Day and night time continence were 80% and 60%, respectively. Urodynamic evaluation revealed a neobladder with good capacity (mean = 521 ml) and compliance (mean = 27.2 mL/cm H(2)O). Only 1 patient demonstrated a moderate hydronephrosis of the right kidney. CONCLUSION Candidates for orthotopic neobladders who have had previous abdominal surgeries and who have a short mesoileum at the time of the surgery are uncommon. Despite the small number of cases, our technique is noteworthy for having achieved good functional results during the short-term follow-up. This technique is advantageous because it is easy to perform and does not require any other bowel resection or anastomose.

Abstract
A consensus conference convened by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Société Internationale d'Urologie (SIU) met to critically review reports of urinary diversion. The world literature on urinary diversion was identified through a Medline search. Evidence-based recommendations for urinary diversion were prepared with reference to a 4-point scale. Many level 3 and 4 citations, but very few level 2 and no level 1, were noted. This outcome supported the clinical practice pattern. Findings of >300 reviewed citations are summarized. Published reports on urinary diversion rely heavily on expert opinion and single-institution retrospective case series: (1) The frequency distribution of urinary diversions performed by the authors of this report in >7000 patients with cystectomy reflects the current status of urinary diversion after cystectomy for bladder cancer: neobladder, 47%; conduit, 33%; anal diversion, 10%; continent cutaneous diversion, 8%; incontinent cutaneous diversion, 2%; and others, 0.1%. (2) No randomized controlled studies have investigated quality of life (QOL) after radical cystectomy. Such studies are desirable but are probably difficult to conduct. Published evidence does not support an advantage of one type of reconstruction over the others with regard to QOL. An important proposed reason for this is that patients are subjected preoperatively to method-to-patient matching, and thus are prepared for disadvantages associated with different methods. (3) Simple end-to-side, freely refluxing ureterointestinal anastomosis to an afferent limb of a low-pressure orthotopic reconstruction, in combination with regular voiding and close follow-up, is the procedure that results in the lowest overall complication rate. The potential benefit of "conventional" antireflux procedures in combination with orthotopic reconstruction seems outweighed by the higher complication and reoperation rates. The need to prevent reflux in a continent cutaneous reservoir is not significantly debated, and this should be done. (4) Most reconstructive surgeons have abandoned the continent Kock ileal reservoir largely because of the significant complication rate associated with the intussuscepted nipple valve.
