“…In women, in selected cases, the classical anterior exenteration may be modified to allow sparing of the uterus, ovaries and vagina, with nerve-sparing and preservation of the urethra for orthotopic reconstruction, with retention rather than incontinence being the major issue. In selected cases preserving the entire vaginal wall is feasible but it remains unclear whether this results in better continence and sexual function [4]. In men, nerve-sparing techniques have allowed highly selected patients to maintain potency.…”

“…Orthotopic neobladder replacement has now been established as an acceptable and desirable type of urinary diversion in a significant percentage of female patients. [8,9].There is an evidence indicating that in female patients who fulfill the criteria for such procedure, preserving the vaginal wall during cystectomy with subsequent orthotopic neobladder reconstruction significantly decreases the risk of neobladdervaginal fistula and might improve the functional results [3,10] In our series, none of the patients developed neobladdervaginal fistula with maintained plane between the posterior bladder wall and the anterior vagina. Moreover, preserving the gynecologic organs and pubourethral ligament is less likely to result in pelvic descent or prolapse.…”

“…Achieving an excellent functional response at the expense of compromising cancer cure is not acceptable and it is important to provide patients with the best possible functional outcome, as there is an obvious effect of poor urinary function on the quality of life [7]. The aim of orthotopic bladder reconstruction is to provide a compliant, low pressure continent urinary reservoir that may be emptied completely at socially convenient intervals [3]. Orthotopic neobladder replacement has now been established as an acceptable and desirable type of urinary diversion in a significant percentage of female patients.…”
