OBJECTIVE: To compare outcomes of patients undergoing continent or incontinent urinary diversion after pelvic exenteration for gynecologic malignancies. METHODS: Data on patients who underwent pelvic exenteration for gynecologic malignancies at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center between January 1993 and December 2010 were collected. A multivariate logistic regression model was used and statistical significance was P<0.05. RESULTS: A total of 133 patients were included in this study. The mean age at exenteration was 47.6 (range, 30-73) years in the continent urinary diversion group and 57.2 (range, 27-86) years in the incontinent urinary diversion group (P<0.0001). Forty-six patients (34.6%) had continent urinary diversion, and 87 patients (65.4%) had incontinent urinary diversion. The rates of postoperative complications in patients with continent and incontinent urinary diversion, respectively, were as follows: pyelonephritis, 32.6% versus 37.9% (P=0.58); urinary stone formation, 34.8% versus 2.3% (P<0.001); renal insufficiency, 4.4% versus 14.9% (P=0.09); urostomy stricture, 13.0% versus 1.2% (P=0.007); ureteral (anastomotic) leak, 4.4% versus 6.9% (P=0.71); ureteral (anastomotic) stricture, 13.0% versus 23% (P=0.25); fistula formation, 21.7% versus 19.5% (P=0.82); and reoperation because of complications of urinary diversion, 6.5% versus 2.3% (P=0.34). Among patients with continent urinary diversion, the incidence of incontinence was 28.3%, and 15.2% had difficulty with self-catheterization. CONCLUSION: There were no differences in postoperative complications between patients with continent and incontinent conduits except that stone formation was more common in patients with continent conduits.
