Sažetak

Radical cystectomy is associated with significant morbidity and mortality due to complex surgery and comorbidities associated with advanced age of patients. In contrast to the surgery, which is clearly the procedure of choice for patients with invasive bladder cancer, the optimal anesthesiologic method is still under debate. Therefore, we retrospectively analyzed 85 patients having undergone radical cystectomy at our institution, either under combined epidural-general anesthesia (CEG A) or opioid based general anesthesia (GA). The intraoperative blood loss was significantly lower in CEG A group (497.37±354.13) than in GA group (742.31±403.69; p=0.006), due to induced hypotension. Consequently, blood transfusion requirements were lower in CEG A group (107.20±263.92) than in GA group (388.18±321.32; p=0.001). The incidence of postoperative ileus was also lower in CEG A group (p=0.024). There was no difference in analgesic efficacy, but a trend towards lower incidence of venous thrombosis and infection was noticed. The results of our study suggest that epidural anesthesia might have specific advantages in patients undergoing radical cystectomy.
