We aimed to elucidate predictive factors for complications in urinary diversions based on preoperative comorbidities and major complications. A special focus was set on anastomosis insufficiency as a major complication. Patients and Methods: Preoperative comorbidities, postoperative complications, duration of hospital stay, and follow-up were analyzed in 317 patients with urinary diversion. The impact of preoperative comorbidities on diversion types was described and quantified as defined by the age-adjusted Charlson Comorbidity Index. Results: Overall, 14.8% of patients showed anastomosis-related complications, most within the ileal conduit group (15.9% in the cohort). Severe complications (Clavien-Dindo Classification Score >IIIa) were found in smokers (p=0.046), and in patients with vascular diseases (p=0.007), a high American Society of Anaesthesiologists (ASA)-score (p=0.047), a R1- (p=0.009), as well as a pN1 (p=0.007) status. Conclusion: Several independent predictors for several postoperative complications in urinary diversions were identified, which were independent of the diversion method. ER -
