Luo H, Xiong Y. Comparing surgical site wound infection after laparoscopic and open radical cystectomies in patients with bladder cancer. Int Wound J 2024; 21:e14718. [PMID: 38571455 PMCID: PMC10993015 DOI: 10.1111/iwj.14718] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2023] [Revised: 01/11/2024] [Accepted: 01/11/2024] [Indexed: 04/05/2024] Open
Abstract
This study comprehensively compared the effects of laparoscopic and open radical cystectomies on postoperative wound infections and complications in patients with bladder cancer. We conducted a systematic search for relevant studies in PubMed, Embase, Google Scholar, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Wanfang databases, from database inception to October 2023. Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted data, and assessed the quality based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data analysis was performed using Stata 17.0 software. Overall, 16 studies involving 1427 patients with bladder cancer were included. The analysis revealed that, compared with open radical cystectomy, laparoscopic radical cystectomy significantly reduced the incidence of wound infections (odds ratio [OR] = 0.38, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.23-0.64, p < 0.001) and complications (OR = 0.35, 95%CI: 0.26-0.47, p < 0.001) and significantly shortened the hospital stay duration (standardised mean difference [SMD] = -1.85, 95%CI: -2.34 to -1.36, p < 0.001). Thus, this study determined that laparoscopic radical cystectomy for the treatment of bladder cancer effectively reduced the occurrence of wound infections and complications, and significantly shortened the patient's hospital stay, demonstrating notable therapeutic effectiveness worthy of clinical application.

Guo L, Zhang T, Liang T, Chen J, Gao H. Laparoscopic Radical Cystectomy with Ileal Orthotopic Neobladder for Bladder Cancer: Current Indications and Outcomes. Urol Int 2023; 108:242-253. [PMID: 37995673 DOI: 10.1159/000535032] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2023] [Accepted: 10/23/2023] [Indexed: 11/25/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic radical cystectomy (LRC) with ileal orthotopic neobladder (IONB) reconstruction is one of the most promising methods for bladder cancer treatment; its advantages include a small incision size, less blood loss, improved perioperative outcome and tumor prognosis, and a positive self-image postoperatively. The short-term benefits of various IONB reconstruction procedures reported thus far include a simple process, short operative time, less intraoperative bleeding, few postoperative complications, and good postoperative neobladder function; in the long term, these benefits engender good quality of life of the patients. Here, we explored and summarized the more novel and available IONB reconstruction procedures to identify the safest, most efficient, and simplest IONB reconstruction techniques for patients with bladder cancer. SUMMARY LRC with IONB reconstruction is technically feasible; however, most of the relevant studies have been short, employing a small sample size and a retrospective design. However, long-term, large-scale, prospective studies identifying the most appropriate bowel segments for IONB reconstruction, comparing intracorporeal and extracorporeal IONB reconstruction, assessing currently available IONBs, and resolving relevant postoperative complications further, with a focus on patients with bladder cancer, are warranted. KEY MESSAGE Several procedures for LRC with IONB reconstruction have been reported thus far. However, there is no consensus regarding the IONB reconstruction procedures most beneficial to patients with bladder cancer. Our review may aid researchers in developing a simple, safe, and efficient LRC with IONB reconstruction procedure for patients with bladder cancer.

Front Oncol 2023; 13:1249389. [PMID: 37920155 PMCID: PMC10619152 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2023.1249389] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2023] [Accepted: 10/02/2023] [Indexed: 11/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction Radical cystectomy with dissection of pelvic lymph nodes and urethral diversion is the standard surgical treatment for muscle-invasive non-metastatic bladder cancer. In rare cases where patients with bladder cancer without distant metastasis have pelvic multi-organ invasion, the cancer compresses or invades the ureter and, in severe cases, leads to bilateral upper urinary tract obstruction and renal damage. The treatment recommended by guidelines often cannot improve the patients' clinical symptoms immediately, and patients cannot complete the treatment owing to severe side effects, resulting in poor survival benefits. Case presentation A 69-year-old woman with facial edema was treated at the First Affiliated Hospital of Jinan University. The serum creatinine and potassium values were 1244 umol/L and 5.86 mmol/L, respectively. Pelvic magnetic resonance and abdominal computed tomography revealed that the bladder tumor had infiltrated the uterus, anterior vaginal wall, rectum, right ureter, right fallopian tube, and right ovary and metastasized to multiple pelvic lymph nodes. Tumor invasion of the right ureter resulted in severe hydronephrosis of the right kidney and loss of function and obstructive symptoms in the left kidney. Four days later, the patient's creatinine level decreased to 98 u mol/L, the general condition significantly improved, and the patient and family members strongly desired surgical treatment of the tumor. Through a comprehensive preoperative discussion, possible intraoperative and postoperative complications were evaluated. Right nephrectomy, right ureterectomy, total pelvic organ resection, extended pelvic lymph node dissection, and bowel and urinary diversion were conducted under 3D laparoscopy-assisted treatment. The patient was followed-up for 1.5 years and showed good tumor control, self-care, and mental status. Conclusion Minimally invasive surgery is a curative option for patients with bladder cancer with pelvic multi-organ invasion without distant metastasis. Surgeons should strictly control the indications for surgery and warn patients about the occurrence of related post-surgical complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes of patients who underwent three-port laparoscopic radical cystectomy (LRC) with orthotopic neobladder (ONB) and traditional five-port method. METHODS From January 2017 to November 2020, 100 patients underwent LRC + ONB at a third-level grade A hospital. RESULTS Our study included 55 patients who underwent three-port LRC and 45 patients who underwent the five-port method. There were no significant differences in perioperative data such as operation time (253.00 ± 43.89 vs. 259.07 ± 52.31 min, P = 0.530), estimated blood loss (EBL)(97.64 ± 59.44 vs. 106.67 ± 55.35 min, P = 0.438), day to flatus (2.25 ± 1.49 vs. 2.76 ± 1.77 days, P = 0.128), day to regular diet (7.07 ± 2.99 vs. 7.96 ± 3.32 days, P = 0.165), day to pelvic drain removal (9.58 ± 3.25 vs. 10.53 ± 3.80 days, P = 0.180), and hospital stay after operation (11.62 ± 3.72 vs. 11.84 ± 4.37 days, P = 0.780) between the two groups. The only significant difference was in the treatment cost (P = 0.035). Similarly, postoperative complications, quality of life, and tumor outcomes were not significantly different between the two groups (P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The three-port method is safe and feasible for patients suitable for traditional five-port LRC with an orthotopic neobladder.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to assess midterm functional outcomes and complications of robot-assisted laparoscopic cystectomy with non-continent urinary diversion in patients with neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a retrospective single center study including all patients who underwent robot-assisted laparoscopic cystectomy with non-continent urinary diversion between January 2008 and December 2018 for neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction. Perioperative data, early and late complications, reoperation rate, renal function, and patient satisfaction (PGI-I) were evaluated. RESULTS One hundred and forty patients were included (70 multiple sclerosis, 37 spinal cord injuries, 33 others) with a median follow-up of 29 months (12-49). The main indication for surgery was an inability to perform intermittent self-catheterization (n = 125, 89%). The early complication rate (<30 days) was 41% (n = 58), including 72% (n = 45) minor complications (Clavien I-II) and 29% (n = 17) major complications (Clavien III-V). Three patients died in the early postoperative period. Late complications appear in 41% (n = 57), with 9% (n = 13) being ureteroileal anastomotic stricture. The overall reintervention rate was 19% (n = 27), mainly for lithiasis surgery. Pre- and postoperative renal function were comparable. Most of patients reported an improvement in their quality of life following their surgery (PGI-I 1-2). CONCLUSION Robot-assisted laparoscopic cystectomy with non-continent urinary diversion may be of particular interest in patients with neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction who are unable to benefit from conservative treatment, as it provides midterm protection of the upper urinary tract and an improvement in quality of life.

Abstract
Objective: Three-port laparoscopic radical cystectomy (LRC) is a novel method of radical cystectomy, which is being spread by our team in primary hospitals in our country. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the learning curve of urologists using this technique for bladder cancer patients. Methods: We retrospectively evaluated clinical data from patients with bladder cancer who received three-port LRC with urinary diversion at our medical center between January 2018 and December 2021. Consecutive cases were grouped according to different surgical years, and perioperative parameters among groups were assessed as variables for the learning curve, including operative time, estimated blood loss (EBL), lymph nodes (LN) yield, and postoperative hospital stay. Results: We assessed 154 patients who were divided into three groups, all of which were comparable in terms of preoperative characteristics. With the increase in surgical experience, the operation time of urologists is obviously reduced (P < .05), especially after 100 surgeries, whereas no statistically significant difference was observed in terms of EBL, LN yield, and postoperative hospital stay in the different surgical experience groups (P > .05). Conclusions: Our early learning curve experience indicates that the three-port LRC with urinary diversion is a safe and feasible technique that can be mastered by urologists after learning from a large sample. Given its advantages in cost and significantly improved learning curve, we recommend this technique to surgeons with extensive laparoscopic experience.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the feasibility of the avatera system for performing robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) followed by intracorporeal reconstruction of ileal neobladder. METHODS Six anesthetized female pigs were used to perform RARC and formation of the intracorporeal orthotopic ileal neobladder. Three surgeons with different level of expertise in the use of robotic systems performed RARC after a short instructional lecture and a 2-h hands-on training. The urinary diversion phase was performed only by the experienced surgeon. The successful completion of the procedure, operative time for demolitive and reconstructive phases, intraoperative blood loss and malfunction of the robotic system were evaluated. RESULTS An improvement of the operative time was observed for each surgeon. The experienced surgeon, the fellow and the resident improved their time by 11, 15, and 22 min, respectively, between the first and the second RARC performed. The most significant time difference was demonstrated by the resident, who had no previous experience in using robotic systems. The time difference between the first and the last orthotopic ileal neobladder creation for the experienced surgeon was 51 min. CONCLUSION The feasibility of avatera system for performing complex surgical procedure such as RARC with intracorporeal neobladder formation was demonstrated by this experimental study. No major bleeding or severe malfunctions were observed during the procedures. Significant improvement in operative time was demonstrated with the increasing experience from 1st to 6th case.

Front Oncol 2022; 12:1024739. [PMID: 36439450 PMCID: PMC9681903 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2022.1024739] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/22/2022] [Accepted: 10/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Background This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of robotic-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) versus laparoscopic radical cystectomy (LRC) in the treatment of bladder cancer. Methods Two researchers independently searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, and CBM using the index words to identify the qualified studies which included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and non-randomized controlled trials (prospective and retrospective studies), and the investigators scanned references of these articles to prevent missing articles. Differences in clinical outcomes between the two procedures were analyzed by calculating odds risk (OR) and mean difference (MD) with an associated 95% confidence interval (CI). Results Sixteen comparative studies were included in the meta-analysis with 1467 patients in the RARC group and 897 patients in the LRC group. The results indicated that RARC could significantly decrease blood loss (P = 0.01; MD: -82.56, 95% CI: -145.04 to -20.08), and complications 90 days or more after surgery, regardless of whether patients were Grade ≤ II (P = 0.0008; OR: 0.63, 95% CI: 0.48 to 0.82) or Grade ≥ III (P = 0.006; OR: 0.59, 95% CI: 0.40 to 0.86), as well as overall complications (P: 0.01; OR = 0.52; 95% CI: 0.32 to 0.85). However, there was no statistical difference between the two groups at total operative time, intraoperative complications, transfusion rate, short-term recovery, hospital stay, complications within 30 days of surgery, and bladder cancer-related mortality. Conclusions The meta-analysis demonstrates that RARC is a safe and effective treatment for bladder cancer, like LRC, and patients with RARC benefit from less blood loss and fewer long-term complications related to surgery, and should be considered a viable alternative to LRC. There still need high-quality, larger sample, multi-centric, long-term follow-up RCTs to confirm our conclusion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To understand the long-term oncologic outcomes of open radical cystectomy (ORC) versus laparoscopic radical cystectomy (LRC) versus robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) for bladder cancer (BCa). Therefore, we performed the conventional meta-analysis and network meta-analysis to evaluate the long-term oncologic outcomes of ORC, LRC, and RARC for BCa. METHODS A systematic search of PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Medline, and Web of science was performed up until July 1, 2021. Long-term oncologic outcomes include the 5-year overall survival (OS) rate, the 5-year recurrence-free survival (RFS) rate, and the 5-year cancer specific-survival (CSS) rate. The Bayesian network analysis has been registered in PROSPERO (CRD42020208396). RESULTS We found that 10 articles (including 3228 patients) were included in our Bayesian network analysis. No significant differences were found between ORC, LRC, and RARC in long-term oncologic outcomes in either direct meta-analysis or network meta-analysis. Therefore, the clinical effects of 5-year OS, RFS, and CSS of RARC, LRC, and ORC are similar. But LRC may be ranked first in 5-year OS, RFS, and CSS compared to other surgical approaches by probabilistic analysis ranking via Bayesian network analysis. CONCLUSION We found that there were no statistical differences in the 3 surgical approaches of RAPC, LPC, and OPC for Bca in long-term oncologic outcomes by direct meta-analysis. However, Subtle differences between these surgical approaches can be concluded that LRC may be a better surgical approach than RARC or ORC in long-term oncologic outcomes by probabilistic analysis ranking via Bayesian network analysis. Moreover, we need a large sample size and more high-quality studies to improve and verify further.

Abstract
Patients with recurrent high grade and/or muscle-invasive bladder cancer and concomitant upper urinary tract disease, e.g. urothelial tumors or afunctional hydronephrotic kidneys, may be candidates for simultaneous laparoscopic cystectomy and nephroureterectomy. So, such patients, especially when affected by multiple comorbidities, can benefit from the avoidance of extended laparotomy. We report our experience with simultaneous laparoscopic radical cystectomy and right nephroureterectomy in a 67-year-old-male patient affected by recurrent polyfocal high grade bladder cancer and an associated right upper tract carcinoma. This laparoscopic approach was technically successful without the need for conversion to open surgery. More than a year after the surgery, the patient is still alive, showing no tumor relapse of at the established instrumental controls. This laparoscopic approach, performed in a single session, can be safe and feasible in selected cases as an alternative approach to the open surgery, offering good oncological and functional results.

Abstract
Background Laparoscopic radical cystectomy is a challenging surgical procedure; however, it has been largely abandoned in favor of the more intuitive robotic-assisted cystectomy. Due to the prohibitive cost of robotic surgery, the adoption of laparoscopic cystectomy is of relevance in low-resource institutes. Methodology. This is a randomized controlled trial comparing laparoscopic radical cystectomy (LRC) to open radical cystectomy (ORC) at a single institute. Each group included thirty patients. The trial was designed to compare both approaches regarding operative time, blood loss, transfusion requirements, length of hospital stay, time to oral intake, requirement of opioid analgesia, and complications. Results LRC was associated with less hospital stay (9.8 vs. 13.8 days, P=0.001), less time to oral solid intake (6 vs. 8.6 days, P=0.031), and lower opioid requirements (23.3% vs. 53.3%, P=0.033). There was a trend towards lower blood loss and transfusion requirements, but this did not reach statistical significance. Overall complication rates were comparable. Conclusion Laparoscopic radical cystectomy was associated with comparable postoperative outcomes when compared to ORC in the first laparoscopic cystectomy experience in our center. Benefitting from the assistance of an experienced laparoscopic surgeon is recommended to shorten the learning curve.

Abstract
Objectives To explore the clinical effect and safety of laparoscopic radical cystectomy + orthotopic ileal neobladder and open surgery. Methods The study was conducted at Jingzhou First People's Hospital from January 2017 to July 2018. In this study 87 patients undergoing radical cystectomy + orthotopic ileal neobladder were chosen and classified into an observation group (48 cases) and a control group (39 cases) according to the surgical methods. The observation group underwent laparoscopic surgery, while the control group underwent open surgery. Perioperative period and prognostic conditions were compared in both groups. Results The intraoperative bleeding amount obviously decreased. The recovery time of gastroenteric function and postoperative hospitalization time were significantly shortened. Postoperative pain was significantly alleviated. Compared with the control group, the observation group showed significant differences (P<0.05). The time, amount and difference in pelvic lymph node dissection in both groups were not significantly different (P>0.05). The differences in both groups in terms of the daytime/nighttime urinary continence rate, maximum urinary flow rate, internal bladder pressure, maximum bladder pressure during urination, internal urethral pressure, bladder capacity, and residual urine volume six months after the operation were not statistically significant (P>0.05). There was no significant difference in postoperative complications, including urinary fistula, bleeding, urinary tract infection, pulmonary infection, dysuria, lymphatic leakage, ureterostenosis, or relapse (P>0.05). The ileus incidence rate in the observation group was obviously lower than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Laparoscopic radical cystectomy + orthotopic ileal neobladder has the characteristics of limited trauma, a minimal amount of bleeding and a fast recovery. The functions of orthotopic neobladders are good, and the occurrence rate of postoperative complications is low. In addition, body immunity is protected. Hence, this procedure deserves to be promoted clinically.

Abstract
Background and aims In patients with recurrent high grade or muscle-invasive bladder cancer and concomitant upper urinary tract tumors or non-functional kidney laparoscopic radical cystectomy and nephroureterectomy with lomboaortic and pelvic lymph node dissection can be performed. We present our initial experience. Methods Between 2018 and 2019, 4 patients underwent laparoscopic radical cystectomy and unilateral nephroureterectomy en bloc resection with lomboaortic and pelvic lymph node dissection. The nephroureterectomy was the first part of the surgery. It was followed by radical cystectomy with lymphadenectomy. All the specimens were removed en bloc in an endobag through a midline incision. Results The patients’ demographic characteristics and perioperative outcomes were retrospectively collected and evaluated. All surgeries were completed laparoscopically. There was no need for conversion to open surgery. The mean operative time was 286,25 min with minimal blood loss (260 ml). No major complications were reported. The mean follow-up period was 8.75 months. Conclusion Laparoscopic radical cystectomy and nephroureterectomy en bloc resection with lomboaortic and pelvic lymph node dissection can be safe and feasible in selected cases as an alternative approach to the open surgery, offering good oncological and functional results.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the perioperative and oncologic outcomes of female patients receiving laparoscopic radical cystectomy (LRC) and open radical cystectomy (ORC). METHODS Retrospective review of 91 consecutive female patients with urothelial carcinoma of bladder undergoing radical cystectomy at a single academic institution from 2006 to 2017. Those female patients received open radical cystectomy were matched to the patients who underwent laparoscopic radical cystectomy by using propensity score matching in 1 ∶1 ratio. The matching factors included age, body mass index (BMI), American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score, pathologic stage and pathologic nodal stage. The perioperation and oncology characteristics were compared, and Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the overall survival (OS), cancer specific survival (CSS) and progression-free survival (PFS) estimates. Finally, we did a sensitive analysis by using multivariable COX regression of all the patients, adjusting for the matching factors. RESULTS There were 65 ORC and 26 LRC patients identified in this cohort with urothelial carcinoma of bladder, the median follow-up time was 38 months (interquartile range 18-69). The age (P<0.001) and ASA scores (P=0.018) were less for LRC before being matched. There were 22 LRC and 22 ORC patients matching successfully. Before being matched, the estimate blood loss (P=0.005), transfusion rate (P<0.001) and total complications rate (P=0.015) were less for LRC, and the lymph nodes yield was greater for LRC, but there were no differences in OS (P=0.698), CSS (P=0.942) and PFS (P=0.837) between the two groups. After being matched, the estimate blood loss (P=0.009), transfusion rate (P=0.001) and total complications rate (P=0.040) were less for LRC, but there was no difference in the lymph nodes yield. Besides, there were no statistic differences in OS (P=0.432), CSS (P=0.429) and PFS (P=0.284) between the two groups. In addition, in multivariable COX regression analysis, surgical approaches (LRC/ORC) were not found to be a predictor of OS (HR 1.134, 95%CI 0.335-3.835, P=0.839), CSS (HR 1.051, 95%CI 0.234-4.719, P=0.949) and PFS (HR 0.538, 95%CI 0.138-2.095, P=0.371) of the female patients with urothelial carcinoma of bladder. CONCLUSION It is advantageous for laparoscopic radical cystectomy in terms of estimating blood loss, transfusion rate and complication rate. But there was no evidence that laparoscopic radical cystectomy for female patients with bladder cancer had a better oncologic prognosis than open radical cystectomy from this study.

Abstract
Objectives:To compare perioperative and oncological outcomes between open and laparoscopic radical cystectomy in a single-centre setting.Materials and methods:This study was a retrospective cohort (level 2b evidence) non-randomised review of 228 radical cystectomies that were performed between January 2010 and February 2016. Primary outcome measures were operative time, complications, blood loss and length of hospital stay. Statistical analysis was performed using the SPSS v21.0. Quantitative values were compared with Student’s t-test; categorical variables with the chi-square test. Statistical significance was considered a result of an alpha value less than 0.05. A Kaplan–Meier survival analysis was also conducted.Results:Intraoperative blood loss was lower in laparoscopic surgery (855±673 vs. 716±570 mL, P=0.15), which had a significant impact on transfusion rates ( P=0.02). Operative times were lower in open surgery (339±52.9 vs. 353.1±67.1 minutes, P=0.10), while hospital stay was lower in the laparoscopic group (14.2±11.2 vs. 16.0±13.6 days, P=0.28). Five-year survival rates were superior for patients who underwent an open procedure but were not statistically significant ( P=0.10).Conclusion:This is, so far, the largest cohort to compare laparoscopic and open radical cystectomy. The laparoscopic approach can reduce the need for transfusion; however, there was no statistically significant difference in complication rates, duration of surgery, length of hospital stay or intraoperative blood loss, survival and margin positivity.Level of evidence:Not applicable for this multicentre audit.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To present the surgical and pathological results of robotic radical cystectomy (RRC) operations performed in our clinic. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 18 patients, who underwent RRC and intracorporeal urinary diversion between October 2016 and September 2017 for clinically localized bladder cancer in our clinic, were included in the study. The results were evaluated under three headings. 1. operative outcomes (total operation time, perioperative blood loss, postoperative hematocrit decrease) 2. recovery period (pull-off drain day, hospitalization time) 3. oncological results (pathologic stage, surgical margin, number, and characteristics of lymph nodes removed). Complications within the postoperative 30-day period, were evaluated and the Clavien classification system was used to classify the complications. RESULTS The mean age of the patients was 64.4 (52-80) years. Seventeen male patients and one female patient underwent robotic cystectomy. At the operative outcomes, the mean blood loss was 325 mL, and the mean hematocrit decrease was 3.15%. The mean duration of the surgery was 471 minutes (330-630), while the median operative time was 450 minutes. Complications occured in 6 patients during the early postoperative period. Six of them (75%) had minor complications (Clavien grade 1), two patients (25%) had major complications (Clavien grade 4). CONCLUSION Our initial experience with RRC is that, this surgical technique has acceptable operative, oncological and short-term clinical outcomes. However, prospective randomized studies are needed to assess whether there is a clear advantage compared to open surgery.

Abstract
AIM To scrutinize the rapid development of robotic versus traditional laparoscopic technique in pelvic urologic surgery. INTRODUCTION In the last few decades, advances in research and development have led to tremendous progress in medical diagnostics and treatment of disease. Minimally invasive surgery has moved from experimental to becoming the dominant form of surgical management across the surgical specialties. Laparoscopy is nowadays used widely in abdominal surgery, from simple diagnostic laparoscopy to complex colorectal and gynecologic cancer procedures. METHODS A literature search of electronic databases (PubMed, Medscape, Embase) using the key words: "pelvic laparoscopy, urologic oncology, robotic surgery, minimally invasive access" was performed for all relevant articles in the English language. Data were extrapolated from the abstracts alone to avoid subjective bias in drawing conclusions. RESULTS Telemedicine and telesurgery, the diagnostic and operative process is conducted from a distance. The surgeon uses computer-assisted surgery away from the bedside via a robotic system and performs the surgical task at hand. In pelvic urological cancer surgery the use of robotic technique expands to female and reconstructive procedures as well. The leap forward is so massive, that traditional laparoscopic surgery is starting to be considered less, with a growing number of organizations being now more interested in developing a robotic service. Minimally invasive surgical techniques aim to improve surgical outcome in conjunction with delivery of high-quality patient care. Quality studies demonstrating superiority and cost effectiveness are lacking, however. CONCLUSIONS Although tremendous accomplishments took place over a few years, there is still a lot of ground to be covered in standardizing the learning process and evaluating the outcome from the application of new technologies in the field of robotic pelvic surgery.

Does previous abdominal surgery adversely affect perioperative and oncologic outcomes of laparoscopic radical cystectomy? World J Surg Oncol 2018; 16:10. [PMID: 29343302 PMCID: PMC5773160 DOI: 10.1186/s12957-018-1317-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/21/2017] [Accepted: 01/10/2018] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Laparoscopic radical cystectomy (LRC) has been shown to have less estimated blood loss (EBL), transfusion rate, narcotic analgesic requirement, earlier return of bowel function, and shorter hospital stay. The aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility, peri-operative and oncologic outcomes of laparoscopic radical cystectomy (LRC) in patients with previous abdominal surgery (PAS). Methods We retrospectively reviewed 243 patients undergoing open radical cystectomy (ORC) or LRC with bilateral pelvic lymph node dissection and urinary diversion or cutaneous ureterostomy at a single center from January 2010 to December 2015. Demographic parameters, intra-operative variables, peri-operative records, pathologic outcomes, and complication rate were reviewed to assess the impact of PAS on peri-operative and oncologic outcomes. Results Patients in both ORC and LRC subgroups were homogeneous in terms of demography characteristics including age, gender, BMI, ASA score, and comorbidity. Estimated blood loss (EBL) was higher in patients with PAS undergoing ORC compared to those with no PAS (P = 0.008). However, there was no significant difference of EBL among patients undergoing LRC with or without PAS (P = 0.896). There was no statistical difference in peri-operative parameters and pathological outcomes. Patients with PAS undergoing ORC and ileal conduit had a higher vascular injury rate (P = 0.017). Comparing patients with PAS performed by LRC and ORC, the number of patients with the vascular injury was higher in ORC groups regardless of the type of diversion (ileal conduit, P = 0.001, cutaneous ureterostomy, P = 0.025). There is no significant difference in other complications. Conclusion The presence of adhesions from PAS is not a contraindication to LRC. Patients with PAS may benefit from LRC with lower estimated blood loss, fewer transfusion rates, and vascular injuries. Furthermore, the overall oncologic outcomes and complication rate are similar between LRC and ORC patients with PAS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to describe our initial Australian single surgeon experience with robotic-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) and intracorporeal urinary diversion (ICUD) and to compare the outcomes with open radical cystectomy (ORC). METHODS Between January 2014 and June 2016, consecutive patients diagnosed with muscle invasive and high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer undergoing radical cystectomy were included. Treatment modalities included either RARC with ICUD or ORC. ICUD consisted of either intracorporeal ileal conduit or orthotopic neobladder formation. Prospectively collected perioperative and oncological outcomes were analysed. RESULTS Twenty-six RARC and 13 ORC were performed. Median operating times were 362 and 240 min for RARC and ORC, respectively (P < 0.001). Estimated blood loss for RARC was 300 mL compared with 500 mL for ORC (P = 0.01). Post-operative haemoglobin drop was less in the RARC cohort (20% versus 24%, P = 0.03). There was no statistical difference in overall 90-day complication rates (81% versus 62%, P = 0.25) and 90-day major complication rates (19% versus 23%, P = 0.67) between the RARC and ORC groups, respectively. Positive surgical margins for RARC were 4% and 8% for ORC (P = 1.0). CONCLUSION Early results demonstrate that the safe introduction of RARC with ICUD in Australia is potentially feasible without compromising perioperative and oncological outcomes. Future randomized trial with larger numbers will be required for further analysis in the Australian setting.

Abstract
Robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) has been adopted widely in many centres, owed largely to the success of robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP). It aims to replicate the oncological outcomes of open radical cystectomy (ORC), while providing a shorter recovery period. Despite this, previous RCTs have failed to show a benefit for RARC over ORC. These trials have compared extracorporeal RARC (eRARC) with ORC, which requires a further incision to mobilise the bowel for urinary reconstruction with an open technique. For intracorporeal RARC (iRARC), this urinary reconstruction is performed robotically without further incisions. There are theoretical benefits to this approach such as reduced recovery time for the bowel and reduced ileus rates, but no level 1 evidence currently exists to support this. While there has been an improvement in patient outcomes since the adoption of RARC, various other factors, such as enhanced recovery programmes and surgical learning curve, have made it difficult to attribute this solely to the robotic approach as many centres performing ORC have also shown similar improvements. In this review, we will discuss implementation of RARC as well as perioperative measures that have helped improve outcomes, offer a comparison of outcomes between ORC and RARC and highlight upcoming RCTs that may offer new evidence for or against a paradigm shift in the future of bladder cancer surgery.

Abstract
Robotic-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) represents an evolution of open radical cystectomy (ORC) with the aim of reducing patient morbidity and improving return to normal function, whilst maintaining oncological equivalence. RARC is gaining popularity, especially in high-volume centres, although there remains a lack of level 1 evidence to demonstrate any superiority of RARC over ORC. All previously reported studies that randomised ORC and RARC have utilised a technique for RARC requiring a conversion to open surgery for urinary diversion. Conversion to open surgery invariably masks the benefits of a truly minimally invasive approach. Moreover, such studies tend to report a small sample size, likely reflecting early surgical experience that may contribute to the lack of observed benefit. Nonetheless, it is established that short-term oncological outcomes following RARC are comparable to those after ORC. It is likely that the benefits of RARC are only observed in cases wherein intracorporeal urinary diversion (iRARC) is performed by a surgical team with high volume experience, which will minimise morbidity and maximise early return to normal function. In this review, we will discuss a holistic approach to iRARC, including patient selection, perioperative optimisation, the surgical technique for iRARC with urinary diversion reconstruction, the use of enhanced recovery protocol, oncological outcomes and perioperative complications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine temporal national trends of operative approach for cystectomy and identify demographic or clinical predictive factors that influence choice of approach. METHODS We performed a retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent cystectomy for bladder cancer between 2010 and 2013 using the National Cancer Database. Approach was stratified by open vs minimally invasive (robotic or laparoscopic). Univariate Pearson chi-square and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to assess the relationships between demographic and hospital factors and the receipt of minimally invasive or open surgical approach. RESULTS A total of 9439 patients met our inclusion criteria, of which 34.1% received a minimally invasive approach (MIA). Frequency of MIA increased from 26.3% in 2010 to 39.4% in 2013 (P < .0001). Univariate analysis identified statistically significant associations between year of diagnosis, sex, age, race, clinical T stage, insurance status, income, education, distance from hospital, facility type, geographic location, and facility cystectomy volume, and the choice of approach (all P < .01). On multivariate analysis, independent predictors of MIA included increasing year of diagnosis, male gender, lower clinical T stage, private insurance vs Medicaid, nonacademic vs academic program, northeastern geographic region, receipt of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and lower cystectomy volume. CONCLUSION Utilization of MIA for cystectomy has increased nationally over the last several years likely due to increased surgeon familiarity with robotic laparoscopic pelvic surgery. Factors associated with MIA included male sex, locally confined disease, receipt of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, lower cystectomy volume centers, and nonacademic centers.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe the surgical technique we used to perform a stentless intracorporeal ureteroenteric anastomosis and to determine the outcomes in this initial series. METHODS We performed a retrospective review of a prospective database of all patients undergoing robotic-assisted intracorporeal urinary diversion with stentless ureteroenteric anastomosis between March 2014 and July 2016. Diversions were performed at the time of either robotic-assisted laparoscopic cystectomy for bladder cancer or urinary diversion for other indications. RESULTS A total of 10 patients underwent implantation of 20 ureters into the intestine via a robotic-assisted approach with intentional omission of stents. Median body mass index was 29.57 (first quartile 23.68, third quartile 34.69). Median American Society of Anesthesiologists score was 3 (range 2-3). Seven patients had intracorporeal ileal conduit reconstruction and 3 patients had an intracorporeal neobladder creation. There were no patients who developed a stricture of the ureter nor did any patient develop a leak at the ureteroenteric anastomosis. All patients had normal serum creatinine at least 4 weeks after surgery, and all patients had follow-up computed tomography of the kidneys, which were normal. The median follow-up was 8 months (first quartile = 3 months, third quartile = 17 months). CONCLUSION Robotic intracorporeal urinary diversion with intentional omission of ureteral stents is a safe and feasible option when establishing continuity of the genitourinary and gastrointestinal tracts.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To explore the safety, efficacy, and oncological outcome of 3-port laparoscopic radical cystectomy (LRC) compared to open radical cystectomy (ORC) in patients older than 75 years. MATERIALS AND METHODS From June 2010 to July 2014, we analyzed 16 radical cystectomies in patients older than 75 years (LRC group=8; ORC group=8). Demographic parameters, operative variables, and perioperative outcome in the 2 groups were retrospectively collected, analyzed, and compared. RESULTS Patients in both groups had comparable preoperative characteristics. A significantly longer operating time (476 vs. 303 min, P=0.0002) and less estimated blood loss (627 vs. 2,106 mL, P=0.021) were observed in the LRC group compared to the ORC group. Infection and ileus were the most common early complications after surgery. Patients who underwent ORC suffered from more postoperative infection (22.2% vs. 0.0%, P=0.054) and ileus (25.0% vs. 12.5%, P=0.521) than the LRC group, but the difference was not significant. CONCLUSIONS Judging from this initial trial, 3-port LRC can be safely carried out in elderly patients. We suggest 3-port LRC as the primary intervention to treat muscle-invasive or high-risk nonmuscle-invasive bladder cancer in elderly patients with an otherwise relatively long life expectancy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Total intra-corporeal robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) with total intracorporeal neobladder formation is relatively new in the treatment of bladder cancer. We present our experience and believe it is the first Canadian reported series with this technique. METHODS This is a case series of 4 patients, who underwent total RARC, pelvic lymphadenectomy and creation of an intra-corporeal ileal neobladder. Surgical technique is described and perioperative variables, pathologic data, and complication rates are reported. RESULTS The mean patient age was 61.8 and the mean body mass index was 27.01 kg/m(2). The mean operative time, estimated blood loss, time to full diet and length of stay were 522.8 minutes (standard deviation [SD] 74.5), 237.5 mL (SD 47.9), 9 days (range: 3-24) and 12.8 days (range: 6-31), respectively. All patients completed postoperative functional evaluation showing a mean neobladder capacity of 575 cc (range: 500-720). Surgical margins and pathological nodal status were negative in all patients with no evidence of disease recurrence or progression on follow-up. Three of the 4 patients suffered a complication within 90 days, with one occurring later in the first year. All early complications were Clavien grade I-II (grade I [n = 1]; grade II [n = 2]) and the later complication was grade IIIa. The mean follow-up was 632 days (range: 562-730). The limitation of our study is its small sample size with highly selected patients to compensate for the learning experience. The follow-up is short; however, the outcomes are comparable to early experiences reported at other institutions. CONCLUSIONS In our initial experience, RARC with total intracorporeal neobladder formation is safe. We expect that with experience the expense of robotic surgery can be compensated with early ambulation and shorter stay.

Abstract
Background Radical cystectomy with pelvic lymph node dissection represents the standard treatment for muscle-invasive, and high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancers. Aim of this study was to report our case series of 30 patients undergoing totally laparoscopic radical cystectomy (LRC) with reconstruction of an intracorporeal orthotopic ileal neobladder. Intra- and perioperative results and the functional and oncological outcomes 9 months after operation are reported. Methods Between October 2010 and December 2012, 30 male patients underwent LRC with a pure laparoscopic orthotopic ileal “U”- shaped neobladder diversion. The men had a median age of 67 years, a median body mass index of 22.3, and a mean ASA score of 2.2; they represented various clinical stages of disease. Results None of the patients required conversion to open surgery, and no perioperative mortalities were reported. The median operating time was 365 min, and the median blood loss was 290 mL, with a transfusion rate of 26.6%. All surgical margins were negative; 8 patients with non–organ-confined disease or positive lymph nodes received adjuvant chemotherapy. Early complications (within 30 days) occurred in 7 patients, and late complications occurred in 6 patients. The mean hospital stay was 9 days. At 9 months after surgery, the daytime continence rate was 83.3% and the nighttime continence rate was 73.3%. Conclusions Pure LRC with intracorporeal orthotopic ileal neobladder reconstruction may represent a viable alternative to open radical cystectomy, with a significant reduction in patient morbidity. Future, large, randomized controlled trials with extensive follow-up are needed to confirm our encouraging results.

PLoS One 2014; 9:e98950. [PMID: 24901359 PMCID: PMC4047040 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0098950] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/11/2014] [Accepted: 05/09/2014] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE To explore the morbidity, mortality and oncological results of laparoscopic radical cystectomy (LRC) in the elderly patients over 75-year-old in contrast with open radical cystectomy (ORC). MATERIALS AND METHODS We analyzed 46 radical cystectomies from January 2009 to December 2013 in patients over 75-year-old in our institute, 21 patients in the LRC group and 25 in the ORC group. Demographic parameters, operative variables and perioperative outcome were retrospectively collected and analyzed between the two groups. Perioperative morbidity and mortality were categorized as early (within 90 days after surgery) or late (more than 90 days) according to the time of occurrence. RESULTS Patients in both groups had comparable preoperative characteristics. A significant longer operative time (418 vs. 337 min, p = 0.018) and less estimated blood loss (400 vs. 500 ml p = 0.038) were observed in LRC group compared with ORC group. Infection and ileus were the most common early complications after surgery. Patients underwent ORC suffered from significantly more postoperative ileus (28.0% vs. 4.8%, P = 0.038) and infection (40% vs. 9.5%, P = 0.019) than LRC group within 90 days after surgery. The mortality rate was 4.7% (1/21) and 4% (1/25) for LRC group and ORC group respectively. At a median follow-up of 21 months (range 2-61 months), the Kaplan-Meier survival curves and log-rank analysis demonstrate that there were no significant differences between the LRC and ORC groups in the 3-year overall, cancer-specific, or recurrence-free survival rates. CONCLUSIONS It is suggested that LRC should be recommended as the primary intervention to treat muscle invasive or high risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer in elderly patients with a relative long life expectancy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine temporal and regional trends in utilization of robotic-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) in the United States and to explore factors associated with utilization of robotic assistance. MATERIALS AND METHODS Using 2009 to 2011 data from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample, we identified radical cystectomy cases that were performed using either open or robotic assistance and applied Nationwide Inpatient Sample discharge weights to determine national incidence. Univariable and multivariable logistic regressions were performed to assess regional trends and characteristics associated with having RARC. Descriptive analysis was performed using the chi-square test, the Student t test, and the Mann-Whitney U test. RESULTS Of the 29,719 radical cystectomy patients, 3,733 were RARC (12.6%). Although there was no change in the proportion of RARC performed annually (P = 0.702). Length of stay was 1 day longer for open cystectomy than RARC (P<0.001). On multivariate regression, patients whose primary payer was Medicaid were less likely than private insurance patients to undergo RARC (odds ratio = 0.60, P = 0.074). Additionally, patients in the south were at 50% reduced odds of undergoing RARC (odds ratio = 0.49, P = 0.044). Median hospital costs were $5,000 greater for RARC (P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS Regional variation in utilization should be monitored to ensure equal access to new technology and to assess potential overuse of new technology. Although RARC is associated with higher median hospital costs, further studies to assess its benefits are warranted.

Abstract
Background and Objective More recently laparoscopic radical cystectomy (LRC) has increasingly been an attractive alternative to open radical cystectomy (ORC) and many centers have reported their early experiences in the treatment of bladder cancer. Evaluate the safety and efficacy of LRC compared with ORC in the treatment of bladder cancer. Methods A systematic search of Medline, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library was performed up to Mar 1, 2013. Outcomes of interest assessing the two techniques included demographic and clinical baseline characteristics, perioperative, pathologic and oncological variables, and post-op neobladder function and complications. Results Sixteen eligible trials evaluating LRC vs ORC were identified including seven prospective and nine retrospective studies. Although LRC was associated with longer operative time (p<0.001), patients might benefit from significantly fewer overall complications (p<0.001), less blood loss (p<0.001), shorter length of hospital stay (p<0.001), less need of blood transfusion (p<0.001), less narcotic analgesic requirement (p<0.001), shorter time to ambulation (p = 0.03), shorter time to regular diet (p<0.001), fewer positive surgical margins (p = 0.006), fewer positive lymph node (p = 0.05), lower distant metastasis rate (p = 0.05) and fewer death (p = 0.004). There was no significant difference in other demographic parameters except for a lower ASA score (p = 0.01) in LRC while post-op neobladder function were similar between the two groups. Conclusions Our data suggest that LRC appears to be a safe, feasible and minimally invasive alternative to ORC with reliable perioperative safety, pathologic & oncologic efficacy, comparable post-op neobladder function and fewer complications. Because of the inherent limitations of the included studies, further large sample prospective, multi-centric, long-term follow-up studies and randomized control trials should be undertaken to confirm our findings.

Abstract
Minimally invasive approaches to radical cystectomy are 20 years old. Available data suggest that minimally invasive radical cystectomy can provide comparable outcomes to open radical cystectomy despite the scarcity of level 1-2 evidence. Perioperative, functional and early oncologic outcomes seem comparable between the two surgical approaches. Robotic technology has allowed more surgeons to perform minimally invasive radical cystectomy and has simplified technically demanding steps that posed problems in conventional laparoscopy. This is evident by the rapid dissemination of robotics in many bladder cancer centers worldwide and by the numerous emerging series of robot-assisted intracorporeal urinary diversion. Until more data are available regarding the oncologic performance of minimally invasive radical cystectomy, open radical cystectomy remains the gold standard procedure for now.

Abstract
In the USA, the incidence of bladder cancer is three-times higher in men than in women and it is the fourth most common cancer in men after prostate, lung and colorectal cancer. Muscle-invasive urothelial urinary bladder cancer has a very high mortality rate. This is regardless of intensive therapeutic efforts such as radical surgery in combination with oncological treatment options. The development of treatments with better outcomes regarding disease-specific survival and treatment-inflicted morbidity is likely to occur over the next few years. The significance of meta-analyses on the effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, the development of sentinel node dissection and the impact of the introduction of robot-assisted surgery on the possibility of performing minimally invasive surgery in advanced bladder cancer patients is discussed.

Abstract
Background: Laparoscopic radical cystectomy (LRC) is increasingly being used for muscle-invasive bladder cancer. However, high levels of clinical evidence comparing laparoscopic vs open radical cystectomy (ORC) are lacking. Methods: A prospective randomised controlled clinical trial comparing LRC vs ORC in patients undergoing radical cystectomy for bladder cancer. Thirty-five patients were eligible for final analysis in each group. Results: The median follow-up was 26 months (range, 4–59 months) for laparoscopic vs 32 months (range, 6–60 months) for ORC. Significant differences were noted in operative time, estimated blood loss (EBL), blood transfusion rate, analgesic requirement, and time to resumption of oral intake. No significant differences were noted in the length of hospital stay, complication rate, lymph node yield (14.1±6.3 for LRC and 15.2±5.9 for ORC), positive surgical margin rate, postoperative pathology, or recurrence rate (7 for LRC and 8 for ORC). The 5-year recurrence-free survival with laparoscopic vs ORC was 78.5% vs 70.9%, respectively (P=0.773). The overall survival with laparoscopic vs ORC was 73.8% vs 67.4%, respectively (P=0.511). Conclusion: Our study demonstrated that LRC is superior to ORC in perioperative outcomes, including EBL, blood transfusion rate, and analgesic requirement. We found no major difference in oncologic outcomes. The number of patients is too small to allow for a final conclusion.

Abstract
PURPOSE We determined whether laparoscopic radical cystectomy (LRC) was useful for the patients with bladder cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS We investigated the surgical outcome of LRC in the initial 30 patients with bladder cancer. RESULTS Mean patients age was 68 (54-81) years old. Twenty six male and 4 female were enrolled. Lymphnode dissection was variably performed under aeroperitoneum. Twenty six patients were undergone ileal conduit and 4 patients were undergone ileal neobladder as urinary diversion. The urinary diversion of all cases was undergone extra-corporeally. Seventeen patients were received platinum based neo and adjivant-chemotherapy. Mean surgical time was 684 (398-950) min, and mean aeroperitoneum time was 418 (235-660) min. Intraoperative major complications were ureter injury and blood loss. Mean blood loss was 1,063 (150-2,730) ml intraoperatively. Ileus and acute pyeronephritis were observed in the 3 patients postoperatively. Seven patients relapsed and 2 patients died with bladder cancer in 14.9 months of median follow-up period (0.7-35.9) after the surgery. Progression free survival rate and overall survival rate at a year after surgery were 75.2% and 100%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The surgical therapy with LRC was well tolerated and successful in the patients with bladder cancer.

Abstract
Minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery has become to replace many of the open procedures in urology because of the obvious benefits in perioperative morbidity. However, because of the technical challenges and steep learning curve, the adoption of laparoscopy has been limited to only highly skilled laparoscopic surgeons. The introduction of the da Vinci surgical system (Intuitive Surgical Inc, Sunnyvale, Calif) has offered significant technical advantages over laparoscopic surgery. Because of the wide acceptance of robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy over the past decade, it has paved the way for urologists to tackle other complex operations, such as a radical cystectomy to decrease the morbidity of the operation. The goal of this article was to review the history and discuss the application and current status of the robot in both prostate and bladder cancer management. We present our technique of performing a robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy and the application of the robust prostate experience to robotic cystectomy.

Abstract
Patients with high grade and/or muscle invasive bladder cancer and with concomitant diseases of the upper urinary tract, e.g. urothelial tumors (transitional cell carcinoma - TCC) or afunctional hydronephrotic kidneys, may be candidates for simultaneous cystectomy and nephroureterectomy. Although the progress in laparoscopic techniques made these procedures feasible and safe, they are still technically demanding so only experienced surgeons can perform them. The aim of the study is to report our experience with laparoscopic simultaneous en bloc resection of the urinary bladder together with unilateral or bilateral nephroureterectomy in patients with TCC. Our material consists of three cases operated on in three centers between 2002 and 2011. After having completed bilateral (1 case) or unilateral (2 cases) nephroureterectomy, we performed radical cystectomy with pelvic lymph node dissection. All the specimens, including the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and reproductive organs in the female, were collected in endobags and were retrieved en bloc using hypogastric incision in the male patient and the vaginal route in the female patients. The demographic and perioperative information was collected and analyzed. All procedures were completed laparoscopically without the need of conversion to open surgery. No major intra- or postoperative complications were observed. Only 1 patient suffered from prolonged lymphatic leakage. From our experience we can conclude that single-session laparoscopic cystectomy and nephroureterectomy are technically feasible and safe, and may be offered for the treatment of selected cases of TCC of the urinary tract.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To report the surgical outcomes of laparoscopic radical cystectomy (LRC) with extracorporeal orthotopic ileal neobladder (OIN) in patients with muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma of the bladder (UCB). MATERIALS AND METHODS Between October 2009 and December 2011, 37 patients with muscle-invasive UCB underwent a LRC with OIN. Indications included (a) muscle-invasive UCB T2-4a, N0-Nx, M0; (b) high-risk and recurrent non-muscle-invasive tumors; (c) T1G3 plus CIS; and (d) extensive non-muscle-invasive disease that could not be controlled by transurethral resection and intravesical therapy. Demographic data, perioperative, and postoperative variables were recorded and analyzed. RESULTS The median operating time was 330 min, with a median estimated blood loss of 410 ml. Median length of stay was 12 days, and the mean length of the skin incision to extract the specimen and for the configuration of the neobladder was 7 ± 1 cm. The complication rate was 21.6 % (Clavien II). No Clavien III-V complications were reported. Daytime and nocturnal continence were preserved in 95 and 78 %, respectively. No local recurrence or port site metastasis occurred. Median time to disease recurrence was 14 months (IQR 9-24), and 1-year cancer-specific survival was 91.9 %. CONCLUSIONS Laparoscopic radical cystectomy with extracorporeal ileal neobladder is a challenging procedure but technically feasible, allowing low morbidity and oncological safety. Long-term oncological results are required to definitely recognize this procedure as a standard treatment for bladder cancer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Robotic-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) is a less invasive means of performing the radical cystectomy operation, which holds promise for improved patient morbidity. We review the history, technique and current literature pertaining to RARC and place the current results in context with the open procedure. METHODS All articles regarding RARC found in PubMed after January 2000 were examined. We selected articles that appeared in high-impact journals, had large patient population size (>80 patients), or were novel in technique or findings. We chose key laparoscopic articles to give reference to the history in transition to robotic radical cystectomy. In addition, we chose classic articles from open radical cystectomy to give reference regarding the newer robotic perioperative outcomes. RESULTS Studies suggest that a 20-patient learning curve is needed to reach an operative time of 6.5 h, with 30 surgeries performed to reach lymph node counts in excess of 20 (International Robotic Cystectomy Consortium). The only randomized surgical trial comparing open and robotic techniques showed equivalent lymph node yield, which may be surgeon and volume dependent. Literature demonstrates lower estimated blood loss, transfusion rates, early return of bowel function and decreased complications in early small series. CONCLUSION RARC and urinary diversion are still early in development and limited to centers with extensive robotic experience and volume, although adoption of the robotic approach is becoming more common. Early studies have shown promise to reduce complications with equivalent oncologic results.

Abstract
Robotic-assisted radical cystectomy continues to evolve as a surgical option in the management of muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Current oncologic outcomes appear comparable in the short-term with open radical cystectomy. Long-term follow-up, however, remains lacking for this emerging technique. Modern robotic technology allows a comparable extent of pelvic lymph node dissection as open surgery, a previous criticism of the procedure. Complications compare very favorably to open surgery in comparative series, and blood loss and transfusion rates are routinely lower. Length of stay has been shortened in some series, though not uniformly. Finally, robotic assistance can increase the cost of radical cystectomy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Numerous case series of robot-assisted radical cystectomy have emerged which describe complication rates comparable to open series. However, various reports have outlined preoperative factors as predictors of postoperative complications. Understanding these factors and the methods to optimize the perioperative care of the robotic cystectomy patient is essential for successful outcomes. METHODS In this topic paper, we briefly review the literature surrounding complication rates following robot-assisted radical cystectomy as well as describe our experience after >250 cases, outlining our suggestions for avoidance of surgical complications when building a practice that incorporates this technique. RESULTS Due to numerous variables, there are a number of intra-operative considerations, including patient selection, perioperative care pathway, intra-operative technique, and equipment choice that we have found to decrease post-operative complications and improve patient outcomes. CONCLUSION Through careful patient selection, use of appropriate equipment and perioperative surgical management, robotic cystectomy is a feasible procedure with excellent perioperative results.
