Abstract

OBJECTIVES To describe the most recent 7 year experience with 137 Indiana pouch patients at a single institu-tion and provide data on complications with this type of urinary diversion during the first postop-erative year.METHODS We queried our bladder cancer database to identify all patients who underwent cystectomy with continent catheterizable urinary reservoir between 2012 and 2018. Pre-, intra-, and postoperative data were collected. Complications were stratified into early (within 90 days) and midterm (90-365 days). The primary outcomes were postoperative complications, and overall and cancer -specific mortality.RESULTS A total of 137 patients underwent open cystectomy with Indiana pouch creation. Of these, 93% were radical cystectomies. On average, the operation took 422 minutes. There were 53 (39%) patients who experienced any type of complication during the first postoperative year (Clavien II -V). Twenty-five patients (18.2%) readmitted in the early postoperative period vs 18 (13.1%) patients midterm. There were 10 (7.3%) patients that required early reoperation and 11 (8%) in the midterm period. The overall mortality rate was 1.5% early and 3.7% midterm, with the major-ity of the mortality rate attributed to cancer progression (85.7%).CONCLUSION Patients undergoing continent catheterizable reservoir urinary diversion appear to have compara-ble complication rates to other urinary diversions published in the literature. At high-volume uro-logic institutions, Indiana Pouch creation is a suitable option for select patients desiring a continent diversion. UROLOGY 167: 229-233, 2022. (c) 2022 Elsevier Inc.
