Abstract EN

Radical cystectomy and orthotopic reconstruction significant morbidity and mortality despite advances in minimal invasive and robotic technology.

In this review, we will discuss early and late complications, as well as describe efforts to minimize morbidity and mortality, with a focus on ileal orthotopic bladder substitute (OBS).

We summarise efforts to minimize morbidity and mortality including enhanced recovery as well as early and late complications seen after radical cystectomy and OBS.

Centralisation of complex cancer services in the UK has led to a fall in mortality and high volume institutions have a significantly lower rate of 30-day mortality compared to low volume institutions.

Enhanced recovery pathways have resulted in shorter length of hospital stay and potentially a reduction in morbidity.

Early complications of radical cystectomy occur as a direct result of the surgery itself while late complications, which can occur even after 10 years after surgery, are due to urinary diversion.

OBS represents the ideal urinary diversion for patients without contraindications.

However, all patients with OBS should have regular long term follow-up for oncological surveillance and to identify complications should they arise.
