Abstract
BACKGROUND
Laparoscopic radical cystectomy (LRC) with ileal orthotopic neobladder (IONB) reconstruction is one of the most promising methods for bladder cancer treatment; its advantages include a small incision size, less blood loss, improved perioperative outcome and tumor prognosis, and a positive self-image postoperatively. The short-term benefits of various IONB reconstruction procedures reported thus far include a simple process, short operative time, less intraoperative bleeding, few postoperative complications, and good postoperative neobladder function; in the long term, these benefits engender good quality of life of the patients. Here, we explored and summarized the more novel and available IONB reconstruction procedures to identify the safest, most efficient, and simplest IONB reconstruction techniques for patients with bladder cancer.
SUMMARY
LRC with IONB reconstruction is technically feasible; however, most of the relevant studies have been short, employing a small sample size and a retrospective design. However, long-term, large-scale, prospective studies identifying the most appropriate bowel segments for IONB reconstruction, comparing intracorporeal and extracorporeal IONB reconstruction, assessing currently available IONBs, and resolving relevant postoperative complications further, with a focus on patients with bladder cancer, are warranted.
KEY MESSAGE
Several procedures for LRC with IONB reconstruction have been reported thus far. However, there is no consensus regarding the IONB reconstruction procedures most beneficial to patients with bladder cancer. Our review may aid researchers in developing a simple, safe, and efficient LRC with IONB reconstruction procedure for patients with bladder cancer.
