Outcomes of Uretheroileal Suspension Technique During Open Radical Cystectomy

The suspension technique is reported as the puboprostatic ligaments that attach the prostate to the symphysis pubis. After the ligating the complex, including both the dorsal vein complex and the puboprostatic ligaments, this complex was sharply divided anteriorly from the prostate with a safe distance (1-2 mm), and the urethra is defined and divided. After removing the prostate, the ileal pouch is reconstructed by completely everting the mucosa and sutured outward with a running 4-0 absorbable suture around the edge. The neck of the neobladder was narrowed to ≈1 cm, for convenient passage of a 20 F catheter. Anastomotic sutures of 3-0 absorbable polyglactin were placed at the 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, 11 and 12 o'clock positions
