[Reconstructive surgery of the efferent urinary tract in pelvic exenteration of gynecological tumors].
In locally advanced or recurrent tumors of the female genital tract anterior or total exenteration may be mandatory in case of tumor invasion into the lower urinary tract or if a second course of radiation therapy is not feasible. The management of resection and reconstruction of the affected lower urinary tract has to be well integrated into the gynecological therapeutic concept. In 11/32 patients the reconstruction of the partially resected lower urinary tract was feasible with preservation of a functionally intact urinary bladder. Urinary diversion following pelvic exenteration was achieved in 13/17 patients with a continent urinary reservoir and in 4/17 patients with an ileal conduit. Operative reinterventions were needed only in patients with continent urinary diversion in 5 cases. All these patients had a past history of primary radiation therapy of their gynecological tumor. In the remaining other 11 patients with a history of primary radiation therapy no complications occurred. 9 of 32 patients survived the operative procedure 40.8 (25-57) month with no evidence of recurrent tumor. Continent urinary diversion represents an excellent therapeutic option for replacement of function lost due to exenterative pelvic surgery. Stringent selection of patients is mandatory to consider the presented therapeutic concept a reasonable tool in the management of the described clinical situations.
