Summary

Ileocecal bladder augmentation offers a viable solution for male patients requiring cystectomy due to bladder cancer or interstitial cystitis. This technique provides a large reservoir and reduces catheter obstruction risks.

Area of Science:

Urology
Surgical Oncology
Gastroenterology

Background:

Cystectomy for invasive bladder cancer and interstitial cystitis necessitates bladder reconstruction.
Ileocecal segments offer potential advantages for bladder replacement.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the efficacy of ileocecal segment bladder replacement combined with intermittent self-catheterization and artificial sphincter placement.
To assess the functional outcomes and complication rates in male patients.

Main Methods:

Selective use of ileocecal segment for total bladder replacement in male patients.
Adjunctive intermittent self-catheterization and secondary artificial sphincter insertion.
Patients underwent cystectomy for localized invasive bladder cancer or disabling interstitial cystitis.

Main Results:

The ileocecal segment provided a capacious reservoir and effective antireflux barrier.
Tension-free colourethral or coloprostatic anastomosis was consistently achieved.
Mucous plug catheter obstruction was infrequent in the early postoperative period.

Conclusions:

Ileocecal bladder augmentation is a feasible option for select male patients post-cystectomy.
This technique offers good functional outcomes with manageable complications.
Further research may explore long-term efficacy and patient quality of life.
