Abstract

Orthotopic neobladder reconstruction has become a standard procedure in patients undergoing radical cystectomy for invasive bladder cancer. In addition the known sequelae like nocturnal enuresis, need of self-intermittent catherisation and stricture at urethro or ureteroileal anastomosis, one of the most unfortunate event to happen is the recurrence of malignancy that may require the removal of the neobladder lessening the quality of life suddenly. There is a little information about the cases of urethral recurrence of transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder after cystectomy and orthotopic neobladder. We report such a case and management dilemma as the patient is young and does not want to loose body image and a brief review of literature is presented.
