We used the Frailty index as a risk factor for radical cystectomy (RC) complications. We performed an analysis of data of consecutive patients 80 years of age or older who had undergone RC and ureterocutaneostomy (UCS) in 6 European centers.

Abstract
We used the Frailty index as a risk factor for radical cystectomy (RC) complications. We performed an analysis of data of consecutive patients 80 years of age or older who had undergone RC and ureterocutaneostomy (UCS) in 6 European centers. No differences were detected in terms of length of hospital stay, pathological stage, or postoperative bowel canalization as related to the Frailty index. RC and UCS seem to be a feasible option in frail elderly patients.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
