Single stage radical cystectomy and ileal conduit remains the procedure of choice for invasive bladder cancer and is a formidable operation performed on an elderly population. A retrospective review of 69 radical cystectomies was done to evaluate not only operative mortality and complication rate, but also the nutritional status of the patients and its relationship to the frequency of complications. Preoperative nutritional status was assessed by total lymphocyte count and serum albumin. There was an operative mortality rate of 2.9 per cent and early complication rate of 41 per cent. The findings suggest that patients with severe nutritional depletion should receive hyperalimentation prior to cystectomy to reduce serious postoperative complications.

Until recently radical cystectomy combined with urinary diversion was only justified by most urologists as a therapeutic measure for the management of bladder cancer, when other forms of treatment failed controlling the disease. This attitude was mainly based on a high morbidity and mortality rate of up to 20% of the cases. Improved selection of the patients, progress in improving preoperatively the physical conditions of the patients, intra- and post-operative intensive care and improvement of the surgical technique have contributed considerably to reduce the risks of this procedure. Effective preparation of the small and large bowel, early anticoagulation and digitalis medication as well as an efficient antibiotic treatment starting intraoperatively, and optimal parenteral hyperalimentation are of particular importance. Adjuvant preoperative radiation therapy and a simultaneously performed pelvic lymph node dissection do not contribute to an increased morbidity or mortality rate. Taking into account all available preventive measures, the mortality rate of about 20% 20 years ago has been reduced to about 1-5% at present.

Clinical and surgical situation and problems of the blood purification as an artificial renal supports, including hemodialysis, hemofiltration and hemoadsorption, were studied especially fields related with treatment of acute renal failure (ARF), surgeries in the patients treated with chronic hemodialysis and supportive care for the cadaveric renal transplantation. ARF: Our experimental data using septic rats showed that hemoadsorption activated host's reticuloendothelial function and consequently increased survival rate of septic rats. Clinically, similar results were observed by the combination of hemodialysis and hemoadsorption, and the survival rate of ARF with multiple organ failure increased to 68% (21 out of 31 cases) from 30% (8 out of 27) in the patients treated with only hemodialysis. Surgery in the chronic hemodialysis patients: One hundred twenty two operations have been done among the patients treated with chronic hemodialysis in our clinic. However, 15 in emergency cases were died within post operative period. There is no operative death in scheduled operations including total esophagectomy and simultanous radical operation of gall bladder cancer and colon cancer. Pre- and post operative supportive management with immunopotentiator, opsonic protein, coagulative factors and intravenous hyperalimentation with branched chain rich amino acid solution should be added routinely to artificial renal supports in pre- and post operative period. Cadaveric renal transplantation: Eighty-seven percent of cadaveric renal transplantation in our clinic were needed artificial renal support in early phase of post transplantation period because of insufficient renal function by acute tubular necrosis. Necessity of the acceptance of brain death category in Japan is strongly pleaded.

A 71-year-old male was admitted for bladder cancer, and we performed a radical cystectomy and urinary diversion by means of an ileal conduit. Twenty days postoperatively, we identified the presence of stool in the stoma and noted the existence of a fistula of the small intestine and ileal conduit urinary diversion. Treatment with fasting, intravenous hyperalimentation and intravenous drip administration of octreotide acetate were performed. The fistula was closed completely 47 days after the surgery. The early complications of urinary diversion by means of an ileal conduit were reported to be urinary tract infections, bowel obstruction, and delayed wound healing, but a fistula between the small intestine and ileal conduit is very rare. We herein report a case of a fistula between the small intestine and ileal conduit used for urinary diversion which thereafter healed by conservative treatment.

The complications of ileal conduit urinary diversion were reported to be urinary tract infections, bowel obstruction, and delayed wound healing, but ileal conduit-enteric fistula is rare. We report a case of ileal conduit-enteric fistula after robotic intracorporeal ileal conduit urinary diversion. An 81-year-old man with muscle-invasive bladder cancer underwent robot-assisted radical cystectomy and intracorporeal ileal conduit urinary diversion. Twenty-two days after the surgery, we identified the presence of fecaluria. Loopography revealed an ileal conduit-enteric fistula. He underwent conservative treatment with fasting and intravenous hyperalimentation. Loopography was performed 48 days after the surgery. However, the fistula remained. Therefore, fistula closure surgery was performed 51 days after the surgery. Here we review the characteristics of 4 ileal conduit-enteric fistula cases reported in Japan.
