مستخلص: We describe a surgical technique to conserve urinary continence in 7 women who underwent radical cystectomy with construction of an orthotopic ileal neobladder for infiltrating bladder carcinoma. The selection of the patients and the surgical procedure to preserve the anatomical and functional integrity of the female urethra are described. Followup ranged from 7 to 28 months. There were no postoperative deaths or serious clinical complications. The urinary continence rate was 100% during the day and 71% at night with micturition at regular 3-hour intervals. The vesical capacity varied from 250 to 400 cc and pressure at maximum capacity from 10 to 25 cm. water. Urinary flow was satisfactory and the urethral pressure profile showed a normal sphincteric mechanism at rest. Two patients died of metastases at 14 and 8 months postoperatively, and 5 are alive and disease-free. We believe that these results confirm the possibility of obtaining micturition in women via the urethra following radical cystectomy.
