Complications of a single stage radical cystectomy and ileal conduit diversion: review of 214 cases.
Single stage radical cystectomy and ileal conduit diversion were performed on 214 patients for treatment of bladder carcinoma. The over-all operative mortality rate was only 3.3 per cent. Early complications occurred in 27.6 per cent of the patients and late complications were noted in 41.1 per cent of the patients followed 6 months or longer. We refute recent arguments for staged procedures as a necessity for reducing operative mortality and morbidity.
