title: [Nerve-sparing cystectomy and ileal bladder substitution].
abstract: Nerve-sparing techniques and bladder substitution following radical cystectomy allow today to obviate functional sequelae once registered in this type of surgery. Intraoperative identification of the pelvic plexus, which provides autonomic innervation to the corpora cavernosa, is necessary to preserve sexual function. Ileal orthotopic bladder substitution with preservation of the distal urethral sphincter assures a micturition per urethram and the urinary continence. The Authors report their experience with the Studer and Zingg procedure (ileal orthotopic bladder reservoir) performed in 26 cases. Results, technique, complications, and long-term evaluation are stressed.
