Association Between Postoperative 3rd Month Renal Function After Radical Cystectomy and Preoperative Factors, Oncologic Outcomes, and Complications

Objective: We aimed to investigate the influence of preoperative factors on postoperative renal function and the association between renal function and oncologic outcomes and complications after radical cystectomy (RC). Materials and Methods: We retrospectively analyzed patients who underwent RC due to muscle-invasive bladder cancer and intravesical treatment-resistant nonmuscle-invasive bladder cancer in our center between January 2006 and March 2017. The patients' age, gender, comorbidities, preoperative estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), presence of hydronephrosis, hydronephrosis grade and laterality, urinary diversion type, preoperative and postoperative pathology findings, eGFR at postoperative 3rd month, oncologic outcomes, and complication rates were evaluated. The patients were divided into 2 groups based on postoperative eGFR: group 1 (
