title: Conservative management of spontaneous rupture of a sigmoid colon neobladder.
abstract: A case of successful management of spontaneous perforation of an orthotopic sigmoid colon neobladder 18 months following radical cystectomy for muscle-invasive transitional cell carcinoma is described. Conservative management of such perforations has rarely been described in the literature; however, this is the first case report of sigmoid colon neobladder perforation and of its successful conservative management, to the best of our knowledge.
