Pitcher pot neourethral modification of ileal orthotopic neobladder achieves satisfactory long-term functional and quality of life outcomes with low clean intermittent self-catheterization rate.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To describe a decade of our experience with a neo-urethral modification of ileal orthotopic neobladder (pitcher pot ONB). Multiple investigators have reported similar modifications. However, long-term longitudinal functional and quality of life (QOL) outcomes are lacking.

Methods

Prospectively maintained hospital registry for 238 ONB patients comprising a mix of open and robotic surgery cohorts from 2007 to 2017, and minimum of 2 years of follow-up was retrospectively queried. QOL was evaluated using Bladder Cancer Index (BCI). Longitudinal trends of QOL domain parameters were analysed. List of perioperative variables that have a biologically plausible association with continence, potency, and post-operative BCI QOL sexual, urinary, and bowel domain scores was draw
