Abstrakt: - Since April 1986 we have carried out 103 bladder substitutions with the ileal neobladder; 91 of these were performed after radical cystectomy in males (group 1) and 12 after subtotal bladder resection (group 2); 55 patients in group 1 and 8 in group 2 were followed up by long-term urodynamic investigations and by a questionnaire concerning micturition patterns and continence at home 3 months post-operatively. The maximum bladder capacity was approximately 770 ml with an absolute intravesical pressure of 23 to 30 cm H2O. Intravesical pressure waves with a mean amplitude of 20 cm H2O were found in 38% of patients in group 1 and 25% in group 2; 61% of these patients were asymptomatic. The results showed that 85% of patients were continent by day and by night. We attribute this to our operative technique: the ileal loop is folded 4 times in a 'W' or 'M' shape to achieve complete detubularisation of the bowel and the external urethral sphincter is carefully preserved. Altogether, these data show the ileal neobladder technique to be a reliable and safe method of bladder substitution. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
