Sacrocolpopexy with Polypropylene Tape as Valuable Surgical Modification during Cystectomy with Orthotopic Ileal Bladder: Functional Results

Abstract EN

Introduction.

Urinary diversion is very often associated with urinary retention and urinary incontinence.

In this study, a surgical modification during cystectomy with orthotopic ileal neobladder is presented.

Material and Methods.

Female patients enrolled in the study (n-24) were subjected to sacrocolpopexy during the operation.

Apart from oncological control, the follow-up consisted of 1-hour inlay test and questionnaires (UDI-6 and IIQ-7) in the 3rd, 6th, and 12th month after the operation.

In the 12th month after the surgery, the urodynamic pressure-flow test was performed.

Outcomes were compared with the control group (n-18) in which sacrocolpopexy was not implemented.

Results.

The study group was characterised by reduced urinary retention and improved continence.

Conclusion.

Sacrocolpopexy during cystectomy with orthotopic ileal bladder is a valuable surgical method which provides patients with a better quality of life.
