| description | Our goal is to describe our experience in the difficulties encountered during radical
cystectomy for muscle invasive bladder cancer in patients with contemporary pelvic
kidney. Two patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer and contemporary pelvic
kidney were subjected to radical cystectomy and extended lymphadenectomy with
conversion to an ileal pouch. In both cases, lymphadenectomy was the first step after
entering the true pelvis. In order to proceed to the cystoprostatectomy, careful
dissection of the ectopic renal vessels and proper mobilization of the kidney were
performed. In both cases, an ileal pouch was our choice. The pelvic kidney is the most
common sight of renal ectopia. The etiology is the aborted ascent of the fetal kidney
from its initial position in the pelvis. This is the first case series describing radical
cystectomy for muscle invasive urothelial carcinoma of the bladder in patients with a
pelvic kidney. |
