Draft:Neobladder

Submission declined on 15 August 2025 by WeirdNAnnoyed (talk). The topic of this article might be notable, but the way the article is written fails to distinguish it sufficiently from urinary diversion. The differences between this method and urinary diversion more broadly need to be highlighted. The article also appears to have been largely AI-written; please rewrite the article yourself using properly-formatted sources.

Submission declined on 12 August 2025 by Itzcuauhtli11 (talk). Thank you for your submission, but the subject of this article already exists in Wikipedia. You can find it and improve it at Neobladder instead. Declined by Itzcuauhtli11 18 days ago.

• Comment: There is already an redirect from Neobladder to Urinary diversion. Subject doesn't seem to be notable enough to warrant an article by itself. — Itzcuauhtli11 (talk) 19:53, 12 August 2025 (UTC)

Type of urinary diversion

A Neobladder is a surgically-created urinary diversion used to create a way for the body to store and eliminate urine for patients who have had their urinary bladders removed as a result of bladder cancer.^[1]. The neobladder is created using a section of the patient's small intestine and connected to their ureters and urethra^[2][3]. This particular type of urinary diversion typically results in a continent reservoir, with urine collected, stored, and emptied via the usual processes, albeit with a newly-created organ and different musculature^[4].

Formation

There are various approaches to neobladder formation^[5][6][7][8], but most involve isolation of part of the ileum that is then cut, folded, and formed into a sphere. The patients ureters and urethra are then connected to this new organ.

Advantages^[9]

Urine is collected from the ureters and stored internally. Urination most closely matches the normal process, occurring through the urethra at a time the patient chooses. There is no need to care for a stoma or to utilized an external collection device. The patient may experience an Improved quality of life^[10] and improved post-operative sexual function^[11].

Disadvantages^[12][13]

The surgery is more complex and longer. Urinary incontinence is normal following surgery and takes time to control. Nighttime continence may not be achievable. In some cases catheterization is necessary to completely empty the neobladder.

Notable neobladders

In 2025, Deion Sanders revealed that he received a radical cystectomy and a neobladder following his bladder cancer diagnosis^[14]
