Stomal Complications

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Urinary Diversion

Abstract

Radical cystectomy remains a morbid procedure with a 90-day complication rate of greater than 60% and readmission rate between 25% and 35% [1–3]. A recent randomized controlled trial comparing open versus laparoscopic-/robotic-assisted RC with extracorporeal diversion showed no difference in complication rates. The urinary diversion accounts for a significant portion of the morbidity associated with the operation and includes that associated with bowel resection, the ureteroileal anastomosis, urinary leak, infection, and the stoma, the latter of which will be the scope of this chapter.
