Title

You may participate in this study if:

	Requirement
1	Diagnosed with primary bladder cancer (any histology) who are undergoing radical cystectomy (cystoprostatectomy in men and anterior exenteration in women).
2	Felt by the treating MD to be a candidate for an orthotopic neobladder urinary diversion.
3	May have received previous RT or intravesical or systemic chemotherapy. If the treatment was for another malignancy, then at least 5 years must have elapsed since the last evidence of disease. Patients with documented metastatic disease are not excluded as long as they are felt to be candidates for a continent neobladder urinary diversion.
4	Signed informed consent.

You may not participate in this study if:

1	Undergoing radical cystectomy for any malignancy other than primary bladder cancer (e.g., prostate or colon cancer invading the bladder, or a gynecologic malignancy), or non-malignant disease (i.e., neurogenic bladder or radiation cystitis).
2	Not eligible for an orthotopic neobladder re-construction.
3	History of other malignancy (except skin cancer) within the previous 5 years.
