Bowel complications and anastomotic leak after ileocolic anastomosis in urinary diversion surgery: a comparative 12-year retrospective single-center study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There is limited data within the urologic literature regarding bowel complications and leak rates following surgery requiring ileocolic anastomoses such as right colon pouch (RCP) and continent cutaneous ileocecocystoplasty (CCIC). We aimed to establish ileocolic anastomotic leak rates in urologic reconstructive surgery and determine bowel-related complications following RCP and CCIC surgeries.

Methods

We reviewed adult patients who underwent RCP or CCIC (2010-2022), investigating patient characteristics, perioperative variables, and outcomes. We used Cox Proportional Hazards analysis to compare bowel-related complications. Patients with proximal ileostomy were excluded from analysis, as well as those with less than 90 days follow-up.

Results

Of 162 patient
