Özet

Introduction: Invasive transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder is often treated by radical cystectomy and urinary diversion. With the routine use of soft silastic stents, the rate of urinary leakage is reported to be 2% to 8.3%. And thus the aim of this study is to evaluate our clinical approach to urinary leakage occurring in the early postoperative period in patients with radical cystectomy and urinary diversion. This article formulates a treatment outline emphasizing an initial conservative approach that offers optimal management of urinary leakage after urinary diversion.
