Comparative outcomes of internal, external, and no stent in ureteroileal anastomosis for ileal orthotopic neobladder reconstruction.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Ureteral stents, including internal stents and stentless techniques, are commonly employed in urological procedures such as urinary stone management and deformity correction. However, their use in radical cystectomy for bladder cancer remains relatively limited. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of internal stent, external stent, and no-stent treatments for ureteroileal anastomosis in laparoscopic radical cystectomy (LRC) combined with ileal orthotopic neobladder (IONB). The goal was to compare postoperative outcomes and complications to identify the optimal stent choice. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 51 patients who underwent LRC with IONB between April 2013 and December 2023. Patients were divided into three groups: internal stent (Group A), external stent (Group B), and no stent (Group C). Baseline characteristics, perioperative data, and postoperative complications were compared across three groups. Results: Among the 51 patients (42 males, 9 females; median age: 62 years), internal stents were used in 18 (35.3%, Group A), external stents in 20 (39.2%, Group B), and no stents in 13 (25.5%, Group C) patients. Group A demonstrated significantly shorter hospital stays compared to Groups B and C (P=0.02). Abnormal renal function occurred less frequently in Group A (16.7%) and Group B (15.0%) than in Group C (53.8%, P=0.04). Early postoperative hydronephrosis was significantly different among the three groups (Group A: 5.6%, Group B: 5.0%, Group C: 38.5%; P=0.02). Ureteroileal anastomotic stricture (UIAS) was observed less frequently in Group A (0%) than in Group B (12.5%) and Group C (20.0%, P=0.01). No significant differences were found in other perioperative characteristics or complications. Conclusions: Internal stents reduce early postoperative complications, including hydronephrosis and renal dysfunction, while lowering the risk of late UIAS. Internal stent use is a safe and effective option that promotes faster recovery and better postoperative outcomes.
