Complications of cystectomy.
Analysis of 50 consecutive cystectomies performed by 1 surgeon during a 3-year period is conducted to determine the rate of complications (32 per cent) and the operative mortality (2 per cent). Rectal injury during salvage cystectomy represents the most major complication and wound infection was the most common complication.
