Chronic ischaemia of the ileal neobladder: clinical manifestations and management.
Recently, bladder replacement with intestinal reservoir is becoming more common as urinary diversion in a selected group of patients after radical cystectomy. Complications occurred in two patients, 2 and 7 months, respectively, after successful radical cystoprostatectomy and reconstruction of the ileal neobladder, due to chronic ischaemic changes of the latter. Their clinical manifestations and management are discussed. Some of the possible potential mechanisms responsible for ischaemic changes of the reservoir are reviewed.
