This study introduces an optimized laparoscopic approach for lymph node dissection (LND) during radical cystectomy for muscle-invasive bladder cancer, ensuring adequate exposure and node retrieval for improved patient outcomes.

Area of Science:

Urology
Surgical Oncology
Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

Lymph node dissection (LND) is crucial in radical cystectomy for muscle-invasive bladder cancer, impacting staging and prognosis.
Adequate LND is essential for managing disease course post-surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

To detail essential steps for optimal exposure during laparoscopic LND in radical cystectomy.
To present a refined technique for extended LND in muscle-invasive bladder cancer.

Main Methods:

A modified five-trocar arrangement and 30-degree telescope were utilized.
Sigmoid colon mobilization and specimen removal preceded most bilateral LND.
The study evaluated patient characteristics, LND extent, node counts, and complications in 10 patients.

Caudal-to-cranial Approach in Laparoscopic Right Hemicolectomy with Complete Mesocolon Excision and D3 Lymph Node Dissection

Published on: January 9, 2026

Main Results:

Optimal intraoperative exposure was achieved in all 10 patients.
An average of 25.5 lymph nodes were retrieved per patient.
No pelvic or lymph node metastasis was observed at a mean follow-up of 14.8 months.

Conclusions:

The described laparoscopic approach ensures optimal exposure for adequate LND during radical cystectomy.
This technique provides effective lymph node staging and removal without compromise.
