Summary
Robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) is the latest minimally invasive treatment of bladder cancer. The technique of RARC allows for the following potential advantages: minimal blood loss, decreased fluid shifts, and smaller surgical incisions, while still maintaining sound oncologic surgical princles. All benefits theoretically translate into less patient morbidity and shorter convalescence. We describe the operative technique of RARC, robot-assisted extended pelvic lymph node dissection, and intracorporeal/ /extracorporeal urinary diversion.
Key words:
bladder cancer, robot assisted, radical cystectomy, urinary diversion
