Orthotopic neobladder has become the standard of care after radical cystectomy in select women with muscle invasive bladder cancer. Proper understanding of the natural history of bladder cancer and functional anatomy of female urethra were the cause of its application in women. Continence and voiding problems are still the most bothering symptoms that affect a significant proportion of women. It adversely affects patients' health related quality of life. Proper patients' evaluation and identification of possible risk factors is mandatory before decision making in order to reduce the possible risk of continence trouble.
