Radical cystectomy is the gold standard in the treatment of invasive bladder cancer. In a recent study, researchers have reported higher rates of vaginal complications following cystectomy. The study findings were published in the Journal of Urology on December 02, 2021.
Studies have shown that cystectomy with a vaginal sparing approach may be associated with unique complications specific to the female population. To further explore this, Dr Lee A. Richter and her team conducted a study and examined the incidence of vaginal complications (defined to include vaginal prolapse, vaginal fistula, dyspareunia, and vaginal cuff dehiscence/evisceration) after cystectomy, they further evaluated the risk factors for these complications.
