Radiologists, especially uroradiologists, must retain abreast of rapid developments in urologic therapy and operative techniques in order to critically assess postoperative changes. Part 2 of this review will cover therapy and postoperative evaluation in bladder surgery, surgery in prostate cancer, and retroperitoneal disease associated with testicular tumors. Using the appropriate modality at the appropriate time during the postoperative course is discussed. A variety of alternatives are available to perform urinary diversion after radical cystectomy. Knowledge of operative techniques and postoperative anatomy are mandatory for interpretation of postoperative radiologic findings.
