| Popis: | We report a case of a 32-year-old woman who underwent a partial cystectomy to preserve sexual function. After radiotherapy for stage IB1 cervical cancer, cystectomy was indicated because of severe radiation cystitis. During this procedure we resected the upper part of the bladder followed by stripping off urothelium of the remaining bladder to spare the neurovascular bundle. Follow-up after 3 months indicated intact sexual function including orgasm. In our opinion the cystectomy procedure described in this case report is a good, novel option in women who are candidates for cystectomy because of a crippled bladder, after radiotherapy, and want to retain sexual function. |
