Brief summary

there are many techniques for uretero-ileal anastomosis some of them are antirefluxing for protection of the upper urinary tract with many complications including strictures and pyelonephritis with difficult technical issues and long operation time so a modified technique combining the 2 ureter by wallace technique and implanted them in a single trough in the neobladder making the surgery easier and shorter. this technique was done after informed consent in 45 patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer candidate for radical cystectomy and ileal neobladder diversion

Detailed description

This was a prospective study conducted from 2014 to 2017 in Ain shams university, 73 patients were enrolled from outpatient clinic diagnosed with muscle invasive bladder cancer and candidate for radical cystectomy and orthotopic urinary diversion, 45 patients were included according to patient's acceptance and the inclusion and exclusion criteria. After having a written informed consent, all selected patients were assessed by detailed history and physical examination, contrast enhanced pelvi-abdominal Computed tomography (CT) scan (for patients with serum creatinine \<1.5 mg/dl). Laboratory investigations in the form of complete blood count, coagulation profile, electrolytes, renal and liver function tests. Bowel preparation was done to all patients one or two days before operation. Cases were diverted using a U-shaped pouch with uretero-ileal anastomosis done in a single trough combining the extramural serous-lined tunnel and Wallace techniques.

Inclusion criteria

The inclusion criteria: * Patients with invasive bladder cancer (T2, T3). * good performance status * patients with serum creatinine ≤ 2 mg/dL * prostatic urethra free of tumor. * willing to adhere to the follow up regimen. The

Exclusion criteria

* patients not fit for surgical intervention. * patients with renal or hepatic dysfunction. * male patients with positive urethral biopsy or diffuse CIS. * female patients with bladder neck or vaginal involvement. * concomitant pathological condition in the distal ureters necessitating the excision of a significant segment that hinders proper fashioning of uretero-ileal anastomosis. * Cases with markedly dilated ureters.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
the rate of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR)after 6 months and after one yearthe incidence of occurrence of reflux in the patients was assessed
the incidence of anastomotic strictureafter 6 months and after one yearthe incidence of occurrence of uretero ileal stricture in the patients was recorded
the post operative changes in the mean serum creatinine levelafter 6 months and after one yearthe change in mean serum creatinine level of the patients was assessed

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
the incidence of pyelonephritisafter 6 months and after one year
the incidence of urinary incontinenceafter 6 months and after one year
the mean operative time of urinary diversionat the time of the operationthe time elapsing from bowel selection till the beginning of wound closure
