Endoscopic Treatment of Studer's Orthotopic Neobladder Lithiasis

Endoscopic Treatment of Studer's Orthotopic Neobladder Lithiasis

Studer's neobladder lithiasis is a rare but important long term complication of this orthotopic bladder substitute technique. We report a case of a 45 year-old male patient, submitted to a radical cystoprostatectomy with a Studer's orthotopic neobladder 4 years before, presenting bad compliance to recommended urinary habits, increased production of mucus and high post voiding residue. CT scan a...

Use of endoscopic lithotripsy technique in the treatment of intestinal neobladder lithiasis performed by means of the VIP method

We describe a case of minimally invasive endoscopic technique used in the treatment of a large calculus in the intestinal neobladder. The patient had the intestinal bladder created by means of the Vesica Ileale Padovana (VIP) method because of an invasive urothelial carcinoma. The use of the pneumatic lithotripter, inserted through the urethra into the intestinal neobladder, enabled crushing of...

Transitional Cell Carcinoma in Orthotopic Ileal Neobladder

Urothelial carcinoma developing in orthotopic ileal neobladder is an extremely rare entity. Fewer than 10 cases have been reported in the literature describing urothelial carcinoma recurrence in orthotopic ileal neobladder. We report a case of transitional cell carcinoma recurrence in orthotopic ileal neobladder after 11 years of surgery.

Urodynamic characteristics of the modified orthotopic ileal neobladder.

BACKGROUND/AIM Radical cystectomy is the method of choice in management of muscle invasive, organ-confined tumors of the bladder (T2-T4, N0-Nx). The most frequent continent orthotopic urinary diversion after radical cystectomy is the ileal neobladder. A modified technique consists of using a shorter segment of the terminal ileum than the standard technique, around 30 cm. The aim of this study w...
