Abstract
Purpose of review: This review paper summarizes the available literature on the evolution of surgical approach to radical cystectomy in female bladder cancer patients and its impact on functional outcomes in orthotopic neobladder.
Recent findings: Traditionally, radical cystectomy in female bladder cancer patients has been maximally extirpative with pelvic exenteration. Recently, new techniques which include pelvic organ-sparing, nerve-sparing and vaginal-sparing have demonstrated improved rates of urinary incontinence and retention. Additional techniques include prophylactic apical suspension which reduces the likelihood of pelvic organ prolapse, a risk factor for voiding dysfunction in the setting of orthotopic neobladder. Surgical management of bladder cancer in female patients has evolved to include surgical approaches which center quality of life and functional outcomes that are unique to female patients who have undergone radical cystectomy with ileal neobladder and can be optimized based on considerations regarding an approach that limits pelvic floor and pelvic nerve disruption.
期刊介绍:
This journal intends to review the most important, recently published findings in the field of urology. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts, the journal elucidates current and emerging approaches to the care and prevention of urologic diseases and conditions.
We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as benign prostatic hyperplasia, erectile dysfunction, female urology, and kidney disease. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also provided.
