Fig 1. Patient selection and study design.

We performed radical cystectomy and urinary diversion in 345 consecutive adult patients in our hospital. Of these, 115 patients with more than a 5-year follow-up were identified. Forty-seven patients were included the incontinent diversion group (ileal conduit or cutaneous ureterostomy), and 68 were included in the continent group (orthotopic ileal neobladder). Sixty-eight of these patients (n = 34 each) were selected using the propensity score matching method.
