From Japan: Risk Factors Found for Neurogenic Bladder After Rectal Cancer Surgery
Lower abdominal visceral fat area (VFA), older age, and prolonged surgery are independent risk factors for developing postoperative neurogenic bladder (PONB) after rectal cancer surgery, according to a study published online Sept. 27 in BMC Gastroenterology.
Tomohiro Matsui, M.D., from Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine in Japan, and colleagues analyzed risk factors for developing PONB after rectal cancer surgery. The analysis included 138 patients who underwent rectal resection for lower rectal cancer (2017 to 2021).
