Current oncology (Toronto, Ont.)·2026

Area of Science:

  • Urologic Oncology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Robotic Surgery

Background:

  • Bladder cancer necessitates comprehensive surgical treatment, including radical cystectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy.
  • Extended pelvic lymphadenectomy is crucial for accurate staging and oncologic control in bladder cancer.
  • Robotic assistance offers potential advantages in precision and visualization for complex oncologic procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the perioperative and pathologic outcomes of robot-assisted extended pelvic lymphadenectomy in bladder cancer patients.
  • To evaluate the feasibility and safety of robotic radical cystectomy (RARC) with extended lymphadenectomy.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 27 patients undergoing RARC and extended pelvic lymphadenectomy (March 2005-April 2007).

Retzius-Sparing Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy

Published on: May 19, 2022

  • Data collected included demographics, perioperative details, and pathologic findings.
  • Dissection extended to the aortic bifurcation for all patients.

    • Main Results:

    • All 27 procedures were completed robotically with extracorporeal urinary diversion.
    • Mean operative time was 400 minutes; mean blood loss was 277 mL.
    • The mean lymph node yield was 12.3 (range 7-20); 33% of patients experienced postoperative complications without intraoperative issues.

    Conclusions:

    • Robot-assisted extended pelvic lymphadenectomy is a reliable and safe procedure during RARC for bladder cancer.
    • The robotic system enhances meticulous dissection and adherence to oncologic principles.
    • This approach supports effective management of bladder cancer with favorable outcomes.
