Successful wound closure using fibrin glue for intractable neobladder‐urethral anastomosis leakage after radical cystectomy and neobladder reconstruction
Introduction Complications of cystectomy and neobladder reconstruction such as anastomotic leakage have been reported. It is a common complication; however, most cases improve conservatively.

description | Introduction Complications of cystectomy and neobladder reconstruction such as anastomotic leakage have been reported. It is a common complication; however, most cases improve conservatively. The use of fibrin glue for fistulas has been reported, but no reports have shown its effectiveness for urinary tract anastomotic leakage. We experienced a case of intractable neobladder‐urethral anastomosis leakage after radical cystectomy and neobladder reconstruction, which was effectively managed using fibrin glue. Case presentation A 70‐year‐old man underwent radical cystectomy and ileal neobladder reconstruction for invasive bladder cancer with urothelial carcinoma. After surgery, the urethral catheter fell off and the anastomotic leakage did not improve by adjusting the position of the urethral catheter and percutaneous nephrostomy. We closed the intractable neobladder‐urethral anastomotic leakage by injecting fibrin glue and the leakage completely disappeared. Conclusion Injecting fibrin glue into anastomotic site can be effective in severe neobladder‐urethral anastomosis leakage. |
