Description
Vatsala Mundra and co-authors compare in 2025 surgical factors in simple cystectomy for nerve-related bladder dysfunction that no longer responds to treatment. Data on what shapes outcomes in this surgery were scarce. They reviewed past cases and recorded patient traits, surgical details, and recovery measures such as bowel function return and feeding needs.
Forty-four patients were included; most were women, and over half had spinal cord injury. Procedures with multiple surgeons lost significantly more blood but matched others on remaining outcomes. The drug alvimopan, given to most patients, did not improve bowel recovery or cut ileus rates. Neurogenic bowel likely explains that null result.
