Abstract

The standard of care in the management of invasive urothelial
cancer of the bladder is radical cystectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy.
Although uncommon, recurrence of disease in the retained
urethra following cystectomy carries a poor prognosis. The need
for assessment of risk of recurrence is greater now than ever with
wider adoption of orthotopic bladder substitution. This review
will address the contemporary management of the urethra following
cystectomy for urothelial cancer.
