[Clinical experience of ileal neobladder for bladder cancer].
Between June 1993 and July 1996, an ileal neobladder was created in 20 patients after total cystectomy for bladder cancer. The mean post operative follow-up period was 32 months, with a range of 9 to 47 months. Ureteroileostomy was performed using the Le Duc-Camey procedure. There were 3 (15%) early postoperative complications, which were all of transient urine leakage from the neobladder. Late complications were encountered in 6 patients (30%), which were of stenosis of ureteroileal anastomosis in 2 (10%), stone in the neobladder in 2 (10%), neobladder-cutaneous fistula in 1 (5%) and neobladder-ureteral reflux in 1 (5%). Reoperation was necessary in 4 patients (20%); 2 for stenosis of ureteroileal anastomosis and 2 for removal of a stone in the neobladder. No urethral recurrence has been noted. Local recurrence occurred in 2 patients, who died of tumor progression 16 and 27 months postoperatively. All 20 patients were continent during the day time (100%), while 2 (10%) had nocturnal incontinence.
