Robotic Assisted Radical Cystectomy

Robotic-assisted cystectomy is a minimally invasive bladder surgery with the same cancer removal success as open surgery. During it, robotically trained urology surgeons to remove the bladder and redirect the urinary tract using a surgical robot. Your surgeon controls the robotic instruments during surgery. A cystectomy is a surgery to remove all or part of the bladder: A radical cystectomy removes the entire bladder, nearby lymph nodes, part of the urethra, and nearby organs that may contain cancer cells. A partial cystectomy removes part of the bladder. Simple cystectomy takes out all of the bladders. Radical cystectomy takes out all of the bladders. It also takes out nearby lymph nodes and all or part of the urethra. That’s the tube that carries urine from your bladder and out of your body. It usually takes 4 to 8 hours to complete this operation. On completion of the operation, the surgeon will contact your family there. A portion of your intestines will be used to create the urinary diversion. The most effective treatment for muscle-invasive bladder cancer is radical cystectomy combined with pelvic lymph node dissection.
