title: [Ileal neobladder].
abstract: Since April 1986, 227 patients received an ileal neobladder at our institution. Of these patients 206 underwent simultaneous radical cystectomy for bladder cancer, and 21 received a bladder augmentation. The mean postoperative follow-up ranges from 3-71 months. Perioperative mortality was 2.55 percent, 15 percent of the patients died later than 2 months postoperatively, 13.4 percent due to tumor progression, 1.5 percent because of pneumonia, severe metabolic acidosis, myocardial infarction and apoplexia. Day and night continence was preserved in 77 percent of the patients with a follow-up of more than 2 years; severe stress incontinence was found in 2 patients, and night time incontinence needing some external device in 4.6 percent. 11.5 percent with mild stress incontinence do not require further treatment. Our experience with this relatively simple procedure is excellent: the need for re-operation is low and the high reservoir capacity results in early continence in most cases. This concept offers a genuine alternative to any form of cutaneous urinary diversion with an incidence of complications not higher than after standard supravesical urinary diversion.
