Extraperitoneal radical cystectomy and ureterocutaneostomy in octogenarians

Objectives Bladder cancer is the fourth more frequent tumour in men. Radical cystectomy is considered the standard treatment for muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). However, its role in elderly patients is still debate. Management of MIBC in the elderly population is considered an important issue in urological practice for the continuous ageing of the European population. Aim of our study is to evaluate the feasibility and relatively morbidity and mortality of radical cystectomy in octogenarian patients affected by MIBC.
