Urethral carcinoma recurrence in ileal orthotopic neobladder: urethrectomy and conversion in a continent pouch with abdominal stoma

Abstract

A patient who had previously undergone ileal neobladder with Studer technique presented an urethral recurrence of a transitional cell carcinoma. Further surgical treatment consisted of urethrectomy and creation of an intussuscepted ileal loop which was anastomosed to the pouch and provided a continence mechanism allowing self-catheterization.
