Studer Orthotopic Neobladder: A Modified Surgical Technique

Functional evaluation of a modified Studer ileal neobladder

Pregnancy and delivery in a patient with a Studer orthotopic ileal neobladder

Pregnancies in patients after cystectomy with urinary diversion, especially after the construction of a continent urinary reservoir, are rare. Experience in this field is limited and mainly concerns patients with congenital disorders, neurogenic diseases or trauma. In this paper, we report the outcome of pregnancy, delivery and the postpartum period in a 27-year old woman with a Studer ileal or...

The Studer Orthotopic Neobladder: Long-Term (More Than 10 Years) Functional Outcomes, Urodynamic Features, and Complications

PURPOSE Radical cystectomy and urinary diversion are the standard treatment for invasive bladder cancer. We analyzed the long-term (>10 years postoperatively) functional outcomes, complications, and urodynamic findings in a single center series of patients who underwent cystectomy and a Studer ileal neobladder substitution. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective chart review of 108 Studer pouc...

Management of bladder cancer with Studer orthotopic neobladder: 13-year experience.

BACKGROUND We present the results of patients submitted to a Studer type urinary orthotopic derivation after radical cystectomy. METHODS The files of patients with bladder cancer submitted to a radical cystectomy plus the procedure of the ileal neobladder were reviewed in our hospital from January 1992 until December 2004. Patients were divided into two groups: group A--60 years old or younge...

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...
