Complications in a personal series of one hundred and five radical cystectomies: specific problems in a developing country.
During the 6-year period 1986-1992, 105 patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer underwent radical cystectomy in our department. All the operations were done by the principal author using the same standard technique. Herein we analyse our perioperative complication rate and highlight some of the surgical steps which contribute to this low complication rate.
