Abstract Aim of the Study: Description of the results of using the stapler based ileal neobladders for reconstruction after radical cystectomy in a subset of patients in the National Cancer Institute of Cairo University in Egypt in terms of functional outcome and patient satisfaction. Patients and Methods: In 2014, A prospective interven-tional study was carried out in the National Cancer Institute involving 29 patients with bladder cancer who met the criteria for neobladder reconstruction after radical cystectomy for whom a modified Y shaped ileal neobladder was created after tumor exanteration aiming at exploring functional outcomes and patient satisfaction rates for a period of one year in such a group of patients compared to other published reconstructive options. Results: The mean value of maximum neobladder capacity was 445ml, the mean pressure at maximum neobladder capacity was 22cm H2O and the mean post-voiding urine residual was about 20ml. By 6 months' post operatively, about 85% of the cases expressed having a good quality of life evidenced by satisfaction about their body image, daily maintenance and general satisfaction. Conclusion: Orthotopic neobladder reconstruction using the Y (Fontana) ileal neobladder can be considered as a simple and practical solution for neobladder reconstruction after radical cystectomy in Egyptian bladder cancer patients. | ||||
