Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Augmentation Ileocystoplasty: a Case Report

摘要

Augmentation cystoplasty is suitable for a contracted bladder with low compliance that is refractory to conservative treatment. However, the procedure is associated with operative morbidity such as a long surgical wound, postoperative pain, and a long hospital stay. With the goal of reducing the morbidity associated with open surgery, minimally invasive surgery is increasingly being performed as laparoscopic and robotic surgeries. Here we report an initial case of robot-assisted laparoscopic augmentation cystoplasty using the ileum in a male patient with a contracted bladder.
