Abstract
- We report our initial experience with laparoscopic radical cystectomy of an orthotopic neobladder. A 68 years old male patient with muscle invasive, organ confined, and transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder underwent operation. The operation specimen was extracted through the 5 cm sized, muscle splitting incision in the umbilical trocar site. The urinary diversion was achieved by ileal W-neobladder through a removal site of a specimen. The orthotopic neobladder was sutured to the urethra intracorporeally. Operation time and blood loss were 11 hours and 450 ml, respectively. The patient was discharged on the 14th postoperative day. Laparoscopic radical cystectomy, which involves the orthotopic neobladder creation, is feasible, although difficult and technically demanding. With growing experience, laparoscopic radical cystectomy can be an alternative to open technique.
