AbstractTo evaluate the success rates of percutaneous drainage for fluid collection after radical cystectomy, with emphasis on factors affecting the clinical success, including lesion, patient, and procedure characteristics. In this retrospective study, 31 percutaneous drainage catheters were placed in 29 consecutive patients between January 2021 and September 2023. Most fluid collections formed near the uretero-ileal anastomosis site in the right pelvic cavity (80.6%). The technical success rate was 100%. The primary and final clinical success was 80.6% and 96.9%, respectively. Lymphoceles notably increased the primary clinical failure risk (odds ratio and 95% confidential interval: 22.667 (1.839-279.366), P = .015). Significant differences were observed between transabdominal and transgluteal approaches in terms of fluoroscopic time, dose, and location. Leakage indications on computed tomography prompted differing interventions, but all achieved final clinical success. Percutaneous drainage for post-operative fluid collection is safe and effective in patients with radical cystectomy and urinary diversion.Copyright © 2023 the Author(s).
