Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Laparoscopic surgery is increasingly used for pelvic organ neoplasms.
  • Laparoscopic cystoprostatectomy techniques require further codification and illustration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a developed technique for laparoscopic radical cystoprostatectomy.
  • To evaluate the feasibility and outcomes of this minimally invasive procedure.

Main Methods:

  • A 5-port transperitoneal laparoscopic radical cystoprostatectomy was performed on 10 men with bladder cancer.
  • The technique involved specific steps for accessing pelvic structures and controlling vascular pedicles.

Main Results:

  • All 10 patients underwent successful laparoscopic procedures without conversion to open surgery.

  • Mean operative time was 166 minutes, with mean blood loss of 310 ml.
  • Eight of ten patients were disease-free at a mean follow-up of 12.3 months.

    • Conclusions:

    • Laparoscopic radical cystoprostatectomy is a feasible, fast, safe, and easy procedure.
    • This minimally invasive approach is not limited to academic centers.
    • Urinary diversion can be performed using various methods without compromising laparoscopic advantages.
