title: Radical cystectomy and ileocaecal bladder reconstruction for carcinoma of the urinary bladder. A study of 130 patients.
abstract: One hundred and thirty patients underwent radical cystectomy and ileocaecal bladder reconstruction for carcinoma of the urinary bladder. The actuarial 5-year survival rate was 45%. Local pelvic recurrence was noted in 26.3% of patients. Most of those in the series (81.9%) had perfect control of micturition. Intravenous urography performed up to 10 years post-operatively showed preservation of renal configuration in 92.2%. The normal flow curves recorded showed that it was possible to achieve a balanced vesicourethral unit. Ileocaecal bladder reconstruction is less disabling than urinary diversion after radical cystectomy.
