Body image following radical cystectomy and ileal neobladder or conduit in korean patients.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The aim of this study was to compare the body images of patients who underwent radical cystectomy with an orthotopic ileal neobladder or an ileal conduit.

Materials and methods

A total of 114 adult patients who underwent radical cystectomy between March 2006 and December 2012 at a single institution, Ewha Womans University Mokdong Hospital in Korea, were evaluated in this retrospective chart-review study. Forty-two patients (29 orthotopic ileal neobladder and 13 ileal conduit) who completed questionnaires were included in the final analysis; the remaining patients were excluded. The patients were assessed with two questionnaires: the Korean version of the Body Image Scale (K-BIS) and the self-designed questionnaire.
