  • Title: Radical cystectomy with preservation of sexual and urinary function. Use of the ileocolonic pouch ("Le Bag").
    Author: Light JK, Scardino PT.
    Journal: Urol Clin North Am; 1986 May; 13(2):261-9. PubMed ID: 3962028.
    Abstract:
    Current surgical technique allows radical cystectomy to be performed with preservation of both sexual and urinary function. An ileocolonic pouch (Le Bag), is created to replace the bladder, with anastomosis directly to the urethra. Continence depends on the inherent function of the residual sphincter mechanism. The ileocolonic pouch results in a highly compliant, low-pressure reservoir with a reliable antireflux ureteric implantation.
