ABSTRACT = {Patients with neurogenic bladder (NGB) from spinal cord 
injury (SCI) are at increased risk for developing bladder 
cancer. The choice of urinary diversion in patients with 
NGB and bladder cancer remains controversial and 
is dependent on patient preference, manual dexterity, 
social support, and renal function. We describe the 
outcome of a man with NGB from SCI who developed 
bladder cancer, underwent cystectomy with creation of 
an orthotopic neobladder, and now voids by Valsalva. To 
our knowledge, we report the fi rst successful use of an 
orthotopic neobladder in a patient with NGB after radical 
cystectomy for bladder cancer.},
