Case description

Radical cystectomy remains one of the most effective methods of control of invasive bladder cancer. The construction of an ileal conduit remains a tried and tested method of urinary diversion. Removal of the bladder (cystectomy) necessitates reconstruction of the lower urinary tract. Bladder cancer is the most common reason for cystectomy. However, the same principles apply to patients who undergo pelvic exenteration for other malignancies, or who require cystectomy for non-malignant conditions such as birth defects, trauma, or neurologic disorders.
