Doug,
I wonder why it was 10 hours. I had RC with neobladder and it took 7.5 hours. I thought one of the big advantages of the ileal conduit was shorter surgery....Ten hours is certainly not sure.
However, I did see you other post about going home in 4 days so that part was certainly good.
Best wishes for a continued speedy recovery!
