Continent cutaneous urinary diversion in patients with spinal cord injury

Abstract

Study design: Retrospective study. Objective: To examine the functional results and effect on quality of life of continent cutaneous urinary diversion in spinal cord injured patients. Setting:

Continent catheterizable tubes/stomas in adult neuro-urological patients: A systematic review

“…After the screening of 3,634 abstracts, a total of 11 studies were included in a narrative synthesis after title, abstract and full text screening. [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] 3.2 | Characteristics of studies, population,…”

“…The PRISMA flow diagram of the literature search and results is shown in Supplementary Material S3. After the screening of 3,634 abstracts, a total of 11 studies were included in a narrative synthesis after title, abstract and full text screening …”

Patient reported outcomes measures in neurogenic bladder and bowel: A systematic review of the current literature

“…Of the 122 abstracts screened, 56 full text studies were assessed and subsequently five studies were excluded (4 studies with no QoL‐related results and 1 study with incomplete results). The 51 articles included a total of 14,262 patients …”

“…Evidence evaluating reconstructive surgery in QoL improvement is not as clear as data for other interventions. Six studies examined reconstructive surgery for urinary dysfunction and its affect on QoL in SCI and SB patients . Many studies utilized non‐validated subjective questionnaires and contained very small sample sizes (median: n = 26).…”

Quality of life after therapy for muscle-invasive bladder cancer

“…In a small study [22 ] from Gothenburg of 15 patients (11 women and four men) with continent cutaneous reservoir and 12 men with orthotopic bladder substitution, global health/quality of life did not differ significantly between the two groups using the EORTC Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30) instrument. The same group of authors [23] have also published a paper showing high appreciation of this type of diversion in patients with spinal cord injury. Furthermore, they found that orthotopic patients are more troubled by urinary leakage than patients with cutaneous continent reservoirs, validating this type of diversion as an alternative in bladder cancer patients.…”
