Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Radical cystectomy is a standard treatment for muscle-invasive bladder cancer.
  • Orthotopic neobladder reconstruction aims to preserve urinary function after cystectomy.
  • Laparoscopic approaches to radical cystectomy with orthotopic reconstruction are not well-established.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a novel technique for performing the first human laparoscopic radical cystectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy and orthotopic ileal neobladder reconstruction.
  • To evaluate the feasibility and initial outcomes of this combined laparoscopic procedure.

Main Methods:

  • A three-step technique involving laparoscopic pelvic clearance, extracorporeal reconstruction, and intracorporeal anastomosis.
  • Laparoscopic cystoprostatectomy and lymphadenectomy followed by specimen extraction through a small supraumbilical incision.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Extracorporeal creation and laparoscopic intracorporeal anastomosis of an ileal orthotopic neobladder.

    • Main Results:

    • The procedure was successfully completed in a single patient.
    • Operative time was 450 minutes with 350 ml blood loss.
    • Postoperative recovery was rapid with minimal pain, early bowel function recovery, and discharge on postoperative day 7.

    Conclusions:

    • This case report demonstrates the first successful laparoscopic radical cystectomy with orthotopic ileal neobladder reconstruction.
    • The technique integrates the benefits of minimally invasive surgery with the established safety and efficacy of open reconstruction.
    • This approach may offer a viable alternative for select bladder cancer patients.
