Cystectomy and urinary diversion as management of treatment‐refractory benign disease: The impact of preoperative urological conditions on perioperative outcomes

Abstract

Cystectomy with urinary diversion for benign disease might be successful, but is associated with a high rate of perioperative complications. Those with radiation-induced fistula are more likely to experience complications, whereas those with neurogenic bladder carry a lower risk. Patients should be counseled appropriately regarding expected postoperative outcomes.
