title: New serosal lined antireflux ureteroileal implantation technique on a gia stapler detubularised ileal neobladder: technical considerations and results.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate the adaptability and the possible advantages of the antireflux mechanism of the serous lined extramural tunnel for ureter re-implantation on a gastrointestinal anastomosis (GIA) Stapler detubularised ileal neobladder
  
  
  METHODS
  From April 1998 to July 2002 43 male patients underwent radical cystectomy and the creation of a Camey II ileal neobladder using this antireflux technique. Follow-up in all cases included excretory urography or T.C. scan and a retrograde cystography at 6 months and a renal scintigraphy with DMSA at 1 year follow-up, besides serum creatinine, blood urea and serum electrolytes every three months and renal-neovesical ultrasound every six months.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Early and late complications were low. At follow-up 1 case of neovesico-ureteral reflux and 2 cases of ureteroileal anastomotic strictures were found. DMSA scintigraphy showed no further renal scars.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This preliminary experience was favourable due to overall reduced operating time (about 1 hour 45 minutes to create the orthotopic neobladder and the ureteroileal anastomosis), simplicity of execution and a low complication rate (6.9%) at a median follow-up of 38 months (range 12-52 months).
