D. Mills, F. Burkhard, U. E. Studer] Abstract:: Although numbers are still small and follow-up is often limited, female orthotopic bladder reconstruction has been shown to provide excellent, near-normal voiding and storage function in selected patients, and its popularity has been growing over the last decade. The true role of this form of surgery, however, is not yet fully established. This paper discusses the indications for patient selection, operative technique and outcome of female bladder substitution. Outcome is equivalent to that seen in male patients, although in some series there is a higher rate of voiding dysfunction requiring intermittent self-catheterization. Although further data regarding urethral recurrence rates are awaited, it would seem that with careful patient selection and operative technique, cancer surgery may not be compromised. Functional results have been excellent and patient satisfaction is very high. Provided there is a functional external sphincter and tumor margins can be safely cleared, this form of surgery offers patients the best opportunity to preserve quality of life following cystectomy.
