Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Radical Cystoprostatectomy and Totally Intracorporeal Ileal Neobladder

摘要

PURPOSE: To describe robot-assisted laparoscopic radical cystoprostatectomy and intracorporeal orthotopic ileal neobladder construction. METHODS: With the use of the daVinci Surgical System (Intuitive Surgical, Sunnyvale, CA), we performed laparoscopic radical cystectomy and intracorporeal construction of an orthotopic ileal neobladder (modified W pouch). RESULTS: The total operative time was 12 hours, and the estimated blood loss was 100 mL. There were no intraoperative or postoperative complications, and the patient?s hospital stay was 5 days. At early follow-up, oncologic and functional results are good. CONCLUSION: Robot-assisted laparoscopic radical cystoprostatectomy with intracorporeal ileal neobladder construction is technically feasible. However, its role in the management of invasive bladder cancer remains to be defined.
