Abstract
Objective: To determine the frequency of postoperative complications after radical cystectomy with ileal conduit surgery in patients diagnosed with urinary bladder cancer.
Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted at the Department of Urology, Sindh Institute of Urology and Transplantation (SIUT), Karachi, from 30TH December 2019 to 30TH June 2020, following approval from the SIUT Ethics Review Board. The study comprised patients aged 25-70 years diagnosed with urinary bladder cancer who underwent elective radical cystectomy with ileal conduit. Complications were compared with respect to preoperative characteristics, such as disease stage, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and intraoperative variables, like operation time, predicted blood loss, and the requirement for blood transfusion, as well as postoperative therapies. All postoperative complications occurring within a 60-day period were classified using the Clavien-Dindo grading system. Data was analysed using SPSS 22.
Results: Of the 34 patients, 22(64.7%) were males and 12(35.3%) were females. The overall mean age was 51.00±12.84 years. Grade 0 complications were observed in 14(41.18%) patients, grade 1 13(28.24%), grade 2 3(8.82%), grade 3a 2(5.88%), and grade 4a 2(5.88%). The severity was significantly associated with female gender, preoperative irradiation, larger volume of blood loss, and the requirement of numerous transfusions (p<0.05).
Conclusions: The early complications of radical cystectomy and urinary diversion had a substantial impact on the overall success of the procedure.
期刊介绍:
Primarily being a medical journal, JPMA publishes scholarly research focusing on the various fields in the areas of health and medical education. It publishes original research describing recent advances in health particularly clinical studies, clinical trials, assessments of pathogens of diagnostic importance, medical genetics and epidemiological studies. Review articles highlighting importance of various issues in the domain of public health, drug research and medical education are also accepted. As a leading journal of South Asia, JPMA remains cognizant of the recent advances in the rapidly growing fields of biomedical sciences, it invites and encourages scholars to write short reviews and invited editorials on the emerging issues. We particularly aim to promote health standards of developing countries by encouraging manuscript submissions on issues affecting the public health and health delivery services.
