Gender Disparity in Cystectomy Postoperative Outcomes: Propensity Score Analysis of the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program Database (European Urology Oncology)

Females experience a significantly higher rate of complications, including readmission, surgical site infection, and transfusion rate, in the immediate postcystectomy period as compared with their male counterparts. We also evaluated potential complications associated with ovarian preservation in the female cohort and were able to show no additional increase in surgical complications, hospitalization, or readmission rate when compared with en bloc resection.
