Risk factors and reasons for reoperation after radical cystectomy.

CONCLUSION: Reoperation after RC is associated with approximately 5% rate of reoperation within 30 days of surgery. The most common reason for reoperation was related to the gastrointestinal tract, accounting for more than 60% of all reoperations. Risk factors for reoperation included longer surgical times, smoking, obesity, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, perioperative blood transfusion, and clinically significant hypertension. Knowledge of these factors can aid in operative planning and counseling and lead to possible strategies to reduce reoperations in the early perioperative setting.
