Acute blood loss anemia is common in patients undergoing radical cystectomy, and predicting blood loss and transfusion requirements remains difficult. These data indicate the need for continued refinement in surgical techniques to decrease blood loss as well as for strategies designed to decrease the need for blood transfusion.

Anterior vaginal wall preservation in female radical cystectomy with orthotopic neobladder substitution is technically feasible, maintains vaginal length and support, has an acceptable complication rate and can achieve negative margins. Prospective evaluation is needed to assess the long-term impact on functional outcomes and cancer control.

A response to neurovascular bundle stimulation using this device does not necessarily correlate with the precise anatomical location of the cavernous nerves. There is considerable background variability related to anesthesia, surgical manipulation and other undefined factors that may cause minor but measurable changes in penile circumference.
