Perioperative morbidity, bowel function and oncologic outcome after radical cystectomy and ileal orthotopic neobladder reconstruction: Studer-pouch versus I-pouch

Comorbidities, perioperative complication rates and bowel habits were similar between both ONB substitutes and did not influence survival outcomes. These stratified data suggest that the length of ileum used for ONB reconstruction (60- vs. 40 cm) does not impact per se on postoperative bowel function.
