Background and Objectives: We present the long-term functional results of a new technique for bladder substitution after cystectomy for bladder cancer in women. Methods: Between 1991 and 1995, 10 women underwent radical cystectomy for bladder cancer with a new technique. We created a detubularized rectosigmoid neobladder associated with either a terminal colostomy or intrasphincteric perineal colostomy section (Heitz–Boyer–Hovelacque). We evaluated neobladder functioning over almost 5 years by means of urodynamic studies, ultrasound scans, urograms and pouchgrams, and renal function tests. Results: Neobladder function was excellent in all patients, with good diurnal and nocturnal urinary continence, voiding patterns, and preservation of the upper urinary tract. Conclusions: This new technique, which is a modification of the standard rectal or rectosigmoid neobladder technique, is a valid alternative to the ortothopic neobladder in women, with good functional results

Abstract

Background and Objectives: We present the long-term functional results of a new technique for bladder substitution after cystectomy for bladder cancer in women. Methods: Between 1991 and 1995, 10 women underwent radical cystectomy for bladder cancer with a new technique. We created a detubularized rectosigmoid neobladder associated with either a terminal colostomy or intrasphincteric perineal colostomy section (Heitz–Boyer–Hovelacque). We evaluated neobladder functioning over almost 5 years by means of urodynamic studies, ultrasound scans, urograms and pouchgrams, and renal function tests. Results: Neobladder function was excellent in all patients, with good diurnal and nocturnal urinary continence, voiding patterns, and preservation of the upper urinary tract. Conclusions: This new technique, which is a modification of the standard rectal or rectosigmoid neobladder technique, is a valid alternative to the ortothopic neobladder in women, with good functional results
