Abstract:
The gold standard surgical treatment for muscle invasive bladder cancer is radical cystectomy and urinary diversion. This procedure has historically been performed as an open surgery. With the advances of robotic surgery, robotic cystectomy and urinary diversion has gained popularity with the ability to perform intracorporeal urinary diversions in addition to extirpative surgery. Herein, we detail our technique for intracorporeal ileal conduit.
