Neobladderwith urethral segment and methods forenterocystourethral anastomosis formation

The technique of urinary reservoir formation after radical surgery for bladder cancer has been presented. Neobladder, having U-like shape, is formed from the ileum. A specific feature of this reservoir is the presence of urethral segment. Fifteen patients underwent surgery according to this technique. Plunged and end-to end anastomoses have been proposed. Urodynamic and clinical parameters have been evaluated in various follow-up time. The reservoir shape and anastomosis peculiarities have been found to impair neobladder function.
