Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the renal function and side effects of the Indiana pouch at the National Cancer Institute of Colombia.
Method: 75 cases with history of Indiana Pouch reconstructive surgery were recruited from June 1987 to June, 2008.
Results: 36 bladder; 35 uterine cancer; 1 vulvar cancer, vaginal cancer, 2 melanomas; and 1 osteoclastoma were included. The Indiana Pouch was used in 35 radical cystectomies, and 14 pelvic exenterations. In 26 cases, there was non-surgical tumor extirpation. 95% of patients continued with proper renal function and normal serum electrolytes. Complete continence was present in 92% of cases. The average reservoir capacity was 536.5ml; 22 (24.7%) healthy kidneys were lost after re-implantation. In contrast, 22 (56.4%) hydro-nephronic kidneys became healthy. Early complications were present in 6.66% of cases; and late complications in 46.70%. Early re-intervention was observed in 8.0%; late, 40.1%. Perioperative mortality was 8.0%; cumulative mortality, 45.3%. The average survival was 30.7 months.
Conclusions: The Indiana Pouch is a useful urinary device when urethra preservation is not possible. Complications occur late rather than early. Hydronephrosis, parenchymatic damage and neo-cystolytiasis were frequent in this series, wherein 48% of patients were irradiated.
