Comparison of survival in elderly patients treated with uretero-cutaneostomy or ileal conduit after radical cystectomy

Abstract

Urinary diversion by uretero-cutaneostomy or by ileal conduit was not associated with overall and cancer-specific survival. It is reasonable to consider uretero-cutaneostomy as a regular procedure of urinary diversion in elderly bladder cancer patients after radical cystectomy to avoid associate complications.
