Urethrectomy

TL;DR: Patients with a Kock ileal neobladder have a lower risk of urethral recurrence than those with cutaneous urinary diversion, even when associated with a high risk pathological condition predicting increased risk of Urethral Recurrence.

TL;DR: Urethrectomy to include a fossa navicularis and glandular meatus at the time of cystectomy seems justified as a definitive means of guarding against the often asymptomatic and potentially lethal urethral occurrences of transitional cell carcinoma.

TL;DR: The clinical courses of 86 men after radical cystoprostatectomy for transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder and distal ureters were reviewed to determine who were at highest risk for urethral recurrence, and patients with prostatic involvement as well as tumor extent were assessed.

TL;DR: The urethral frozen section was the only guideline used for simultaneously performing the urethrectomy and all male patients with negative frozen cut sections should be considered candidates for bladder substitution.
